I am an Arch Linux user and attempted to run hashcat on my R9 290. However, on both the AMDGPU and Mesa drivers I am given this message:
Code:
hashcat (v3.00) starting in benchmark-mode...
OpenCL Platform #1: Mesa

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I attempted to install the catalyst drivers this morning to no avail. As well, I have installed the opencl-mesa, opencl-headers, and ocl-icd packages in order to enable opencl support. I was under the impression that the Mesa drivers were working, is there something I'm missing?
Yes, hashcat fully supports them. But they are very unstable and therefore they often crash.
To verify it's not hashcat, compile hashcat from sources with DEBUG=1 make and then run the same command from gdb. You will find that it crashes somewhere in the Mesa libraries.
For your Hawaii GPU, which is propably a 290 or 290x, you need to stick to AMD drivers 15.12.

I see, well gdb gives me this so I guess it is just the mesa drivers

I do own a r9 290 though and did attempt to install the Catalyst drivers. I was under the impression that they had been deprecated by most distros, is it still feasible to have them on a modern system?
Yes, that's true. You have either switch to windows, buy a new gpu with amdgpu-pro support or stick to an older distribution. Thanks AMD
