Didnt know there are such problems... regarding raspbian... someone wrote that it can make problems too and suggested arch linux with the first link i posted.

Yes Arch current seems to have a working libusb (well it does for me - with my test program in the link below)
The Raspbian fix is to use a different libusb as I describe here (switching libusb for me goes from 'fail' to 'working'):

It seems there are and there aren't problems with Raspbian depending on what you're using. I run stock Raspbian with a locally compiled latest version of BFGminer for my CM1s and it runs for weeks uninterrupted, and except maybe 1 time the interruption is me restarting it to test or tweak something. However, importantly this doesn't use libusb.

So, given that extended support for BitBurner voltage control is likely to be built into cgminer on kano's advice & experience I'm definitely going to look at a Arch linux / libusb/ cgminer build as an alternate. Arch linux gets a bad rep amongst Pi'ers as being less user friendly - but it's just linux. Don't fear it!

From what I've read about MinePeon - although it's got a lot of clever things added into the distro, I'd rather a clean stable stock distro with ssh, screen, and a quick init script to wake up my boards and launch my miner of choice. Rock solid.
