You should see stuff like this.

Connect them 1 by 1, do not start bfgminer, and look at /var/log/syslog. I want to see what it shows when the 33rd is connected.

I found this in the readme of cgminer:

----
There may be a limit to the number of USB devices that you are allowed to start.
The following set of commands, followed by a reboot will increase that:

 sudo su
 touch /etc/sysctl.conf
 echo kern.sysv.semume=100 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
 chown root:wheel /etc/sysctl.conf
 chmod 0644 /etc/sysctl.conf
----

ofcourse first check if that file exists and append the "kern.sysv.semume=100".

rgdz,
