Well that solved the "cgminer -n" issue but showed another one...


Code:
[2013-07-17 17:52:13] Error -11: Building Program (clBuildProgram)
 [2013-07-17 17:52:13]
Warning: search kernel has register spilling. Lower performance is expected.
Internal Error: cannot load bc application for linking
Error: Compilation from LLVMIR binary to IL text failed!
 [2013-07-17 17:52:13] Failed to init GPU thread 0, disabling device 0
 [2013-07-17 17:52:13] Restarting the GPU from the menu will not fix this.
 [2013-07-17 17:52:13] Try restarting cgminer.
Press enter to continue:

I'm not sure where this one is coming from and the gpu is still off...

are you logged on to X? I came across similar error when I was starting the cgminer over ssh, without a user logged in to KDE.

I've gotten one system with a 7870 up and running on CentOS 6.4 with a down level Xorg and CGminer is running fine there. Now I'm setting up a second identical system to run a couple of 5850's a buddy gave me and it is giving me a real headache. Any one know any known good list of revisions to use? If I use all the new stuff that is working on my other system the cards just spit out HW errors. 

I'm now trying SDK 2.5 with driver 11.7 and no matter what ADL I try it seems to get errors. Right now I only have one card in it.

Code:
[root@miner2 cgminer]# cgminer -n
 [2013-07-17 10:32:16] CL Platform 0 vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.       
 [2013-07-17 10:32:16] CL Platform 0 name: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing 
 [2013-07-17 10:32:16] CL Platform 0 version: OpenCL 1.1 AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5 (684.213)
 [2013-07-17 10:32:16] Platform 0 devices: 1
 [2013-07-17 10:32:16]  0       Cypress
 [2013-07-17 10:32:16] ADL Initialisation Error! Error -1!
 [2013-07-17 10:32:16] 1 GPU devices max detected

When it runs the GPU is all ways off and can not be turned on. This looks like a ADL issue and I've tried 2.0 which cgminer fails the compile. 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 all have the same ADL initialization error issue. I'm using cgminer 3.3.1.

Anyone got any advice on versions to use to get this running? Oh on a second note what do the different kernels in cgminer provide?
