may be need throttles write as "Hardware error counter" and restart mining.

CGMiner 2.6.1 crashed for the second time now after changing the pool (via API)... This has never happened before. I forgot to enable debug output, so I cannot supply more information atm.
I'm wondering if this could be related to the fixes in 2.6 regarding the "flooding the primary pool with requests"-bug.

In that case cgminer needed to wait 1s for the temp result to return.
Instead it timed out, leaving the 'get temp' command in the BFL input buffer
Next the get results command was sent to the BFL and the repsonse read... which was from the previous 'get temp' command.
From then on all the responses were out of sync until the read buffer was cleared.
I'd suggest 2 things:
1) Increase the timeout to, say, 3s.
2) Have command re-read the port if they get an unxpected reply. Maybe re-read up to 3 times before giving up.

I also have one Single that has been giving me issues like this. I had it running on 2.6.1 for 4 days, and it was until today that it started giving me issues. I reverted to 2.5.0 and it still gives me the occasional error, but as pointed above, it's mainly from the throttling. After it throttles and CGMiner 2.5.0 stops whining with the errors, it then starts working again.

If you enable the API, the API command 'devdetails' will tell you which port/device each FPGA is on
From windows, the easiest way to do that is firstly to have --api-listen on the command line or
"api-listen" : true,
in your config file
and then from a command prompt in the cgminer directory type:
java API devdetails
(of course you need java installed - go to www.java.com if you don't)

How do i know the COM port of Single ?
which the order they in console?
which the order they in console?
In windows, look in device manager under ports.
In linux, ls /dev/ttyUSB*
?
I don't know if there is some way to find that info from cgminer like in a log or debug, but I have a rig with (3) BFL on Windows, COM7, 8, 9 that shows as BFL 0, 1, 2 in cgminer. If I pull the plug on COM8 it is killing BFL 1. So it looks like it is putting them in order from lowest to highest.

Finally i got cgminer running for mining litecoins. But unfortunately the hashing rate is very low. Its the same with reaper. Its only 0.6KH/s and its using more than 50% of my cpu too. While when i mine litecoins with my cpu i get 7kh/s. So its a bit disappointing. Its 9600M GT and i thought it will be faster than a cpu at least. But this way gpu wouldnt be a danger to cpu-mining litecoins.
Maybe i should mine bitcoins with the gpu. Starting cgminer without --scrypt shows hashrates of 7MH/s, which is 1000 times more than for litecoins. I now tested soloming bitcoins and the hashrate there is around 7MH/s. Or should i mine namecoins, solidcoins or similar? I mean cgminer still eats 40% of cpu when mining.
So whats best here? And i know its not worth much anyway. But i have free power for my notebook a good chunk of hours the week and i would like to play some kind of lotto this way...

Thanks. I just compiled the latest 2.6.1-9 and I'll try to let that run for now.
Running 2.6.1-9 with two BFL singles (on windows), I'm starting to see similar errors again, though it seems to be recovering from them and continuing to mine (so far).

I've got cgminer 2.6.1.9 crash today, it just quit. So, I'm back to 2.5.0 for now 
. On the other hand, 2.5.0 is giving me U around 6 more, which is ~0.8% of my total hash rate.
I hereby declare 2.6.x a BFL disaster area.. On the other hand, 2.5.0 is giving me U around 6 more, which is ~0.8% of my total hash rate.Can we get some government funds to clean up the area? Just as long as FEMA isn't managing it...

followed that but at step 10, the restart it goes to black screen.
Is it supposed to ask "Try" vs Install on each startup? after I click Try this time, shows loading icon as cursor, then 30sec or so, about to load and switches to black screen white text for half a second then goes black, display is ON but nothing is happening, here is the text in quotes:
"Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-23-generic...

I had to take a video to record what the screen said it flashes so quick
