Hello Guys, I'd like to ask the help of the community again.
My story in short version is the following:
I've got a small mining operation, and couple of days ago I needed to make space for a new miner,and I thought if I'm here,I'm going to replace my antminers to achieve a better airflow management. Unplugged them, placed them in their new place, plugged them back, and i
DID NOT change anything. Same router, internet connection, psu, cables, everything and they have started to misbehave. By misbehaving I mean they've started to stop mining completely, rebooting them remotely did nothing to them,
AND the normal way of restarting them physically failed as well, by plugging them out and in they were not able to start mining either. Right now,the only way to restart them is to reinstall their firmware and hope for the best, but still they will just simply stop mining and go into a circle of continuously restarting, or trying to restart at least.
The beginning of this restarting cycle can begin anywhere from 30minutes to 9-10 hours.
This happened to 6(!)of my total 9 antminers.
Another interesting thing that one or two can make is after not being able to hash, the green light is continuously on.
Here you can see my kernel log that the miner produces after it stops hashing:

Since then, I have tried to only run one machine, bought new router, new switch, new internet, new Ethernet cables, trying out compatible
OFFICIAL firmware, but to no prevail.
I would really appreciate some new perspective, I might be missing something.
Thank you in advance,
Csavar.
Edit: I might have made the mistake - as it was pointed out- that i've installed the 2019 software and that may cause this problem. If that is the case, what are my options? I've tried since the "the package to fix upgrade failure" and installed the 2018 version,but that still doesn't seem to help.
