Ok, I got my brand new pixhawk today and this is really annoying... The device won't boot up, I got the well known "compass not calibrated" entry in my logfile. There were many people out there having quite the same problem, but 95% of them used the wrong five-wire-cable at first.
I have the problem with my six-wire-cable connected. Even tried another pair of cables. The boot-up is quite fine if I a connect the "old" external magnetometer from my APM 2..5 I tried calibrating with old mag, then boot with new, no success. Boot with old, calibrate with new, reboot, no success. Is there any possible solution left? Read something about temporarily deactivating some checks in the bootloader, but guys, you can't be serious wanting people to do that, or do you?
Thanks for your help in advance!

1) Try re-formatting your MicroSD card.
2) If you have done a compassmot, check for NAN values in your parameters under compassmot X Y Z, set them to '0'.
