You  do not mine with the hardware itself... you use it to attach FPGAs to mine with.

Weird, I've been getting HW errors after upgrading to 2.7.6 also. I thought my GPU was on the way out because I've never gotten any before.

As per the README FAQ ...
Add "-T -D --verbose"
and post a log

However, it's better with a core dump to show exactly where the problem is.
Before you run cgminer:
ulimit -c 2097152

However that won't give much details about where it crashed without:

If you compile it your self, then (as I said 2 pages back):
CFLAGS="-g -W -Wall" ./autogen.sh --enable-icarus --enable-bitforce --enable-ztex --enable-modminer --enable-scrypt
make clean
make

And of course you don't have to include all the options on the end you don't need ...

Once it crashes you'll have a core.nnnn in the directory
where nnnn is the process number.
Find it with
ls -ort core*

Then:
gdb cgminer core.nnnn
bt

and bt will tell you where it crashed ... to add to the pastebin


Edit: however, with that many errors, it's likely to just be in the ATI driver and you probably need to clock it down more?
Nope - it doesn't look like it's lots of error in the HW: counter ... anyway as above ...

Hey Kano,

did that now, exactly same crash, this is my "debugging info":

Is that of any help ??

Thank you VERY much for this guide.  I did encounter a problem with this step:


Then I remembered I did not need modminer (no HW for me - YET) so I trimmed it down to the command that I needed:

... and it worked.  But then "make all" also failed:

Now I'm stuck.  Damnit - I hate being a n00b at new stuff!     (Although I used linux in a previous life a little bit, I'm mostly a Windblows guy.    )

Never built on that - but the ./autogen.sh should work that way fine with 2.7.6
I guess there's more to getting it working - you'll need to ask P_Shep I guess?
He seems to get it working on the usual hardware

Thanks but that did not work for me:

- The linux n00b

Edit: I hope this is not too off-topic but I believe it will be useful for other (n00b) users to get cgminer working on their Raspberry Pi.  Or at least those that want to compile from source.  Now that I think about it, didn't someone offer pre-compiled binaries for the RPi?  Or was that for one of the Bitcoin clients???

Hope you'll find it, let me know if I can help you any further

If you set the 7950 to dynamic intensity mode, you will be able to game without a problem without needing to disable it.
