Not too sure what on earth I'm doing wrong here, but my Adafruit display STILL isn't working after building fractalbc's latest version! It has to be something stupid at my end... It just has to be!

Going to try cs2000's image now just to finally see the LCD in action (hopefully!)

/edit
Thanks cs2000 and fractalbc - my two new heroes!

I had quite a bit of customisation done to my Pi install though, so I'll probably tar up the files from cs2000's image then go back to my own one and try to figure out where I went wrong...

With regards to the stability issue, I'll probably just knock together a little script which checks if cgminer is running every 5 minutes, and if not restarts the Pi... (kind of brute force I admit, but it should get the job done!!!)

Glad its working and you tried my image. Id say its a 50/50 build. To me, fractalbc did all the hard work with the compiling of his version of CGminer, I just installed it on mine where i already set up adafruit LCD support and created the SD card image really

The stability thing is weird, I have remote access to another machine in my house and earlier today I saw on slushs pool that my hash rate had dropped to 0. So I accessed the other box and tried to SSH to the Pi, but no response. Pinged its IP, dead as a doornail. Im not sure HOW it locks up, does CGminer crash and lock up the entire RPI, or does the RPI itself crash, I just know sometimes it does. that said, its been running for about 5 hrs stable now but ive gone back to stock clock speeds on the ant's to see if the overclock was causing issues.

Yeah, it totally froze up on me again just now after about 5 mins of uptime - couldn't reconnect and had to pull the power cable in the end!
I ran ps -ef a short while before this happened and cgminer did seem to be using up a very high amount of CPU (around 78%, whereas it usually sat at between 0%-2% on my build)
I've just checked again and it's showing the following;

root 2111 2109 25 07:45 ? 00:01:05 python PiMiner.py
root 2112 2109 64 07:45 ? 00:02:44 ./fractalbc/cgminer..........................

Not sure if it's something unique with your build, or perhaps this is usual when PiMiner is actually working?... My CPU usage was never that bad anyway, so I'd say I'll ditch the LCD and go back to my image for the time being. I've had a handful of lockups before, but they've never happened so quickly - they're usually after running overnight.
