Has anyone tried a large amount of gridseeds on cgminer?  I am trying 28 of them on a rasberry pi and it stops accepting shares and eventually crashes after about 2 minutes.  Running 28 instances of cpuminer works great, stable, and multipool reports right about where the hash rate should be.

Mine's been stable since upgrading to the "next" kernel (3.10.30+):
sudo apt-get install rpi-update
sudo BRANCH=next rpi-update

This is potentially great news!  I've been having stability issues and set a cron job to do a reboot every 6 hours.  I've applied the update and disabled the cron job on 1 of 2 of my Pi's and i'll monitor over the next 24 hours.

Oh and just a recommendation, i've been using JuiceSSH for Android to remotely manage my RPI's and it works great.  I even set up some port forwarding on my router so I can remote access from anywhere I have cell service!  Has come in handy on several occasions (issuing a quick reboot command when needed).

I tried that and now cgminer just crashes on startup.  Did you have to recompile cgminer after updating?

Nope, I just executed the 2 commands and performed a reboot afterwards.  BTW, I double checked and the slub debug command in the cmdline.txt persists through the update (I only mention it because I saw cmdline.txt scroll by as one of the files that was touched in the patch).
