Is anybody running more than 50 Erupters successfully with either Windows 7 64-bit cgminer or bfgminer? (latest versions...) If so, how do your erupters appear in Device Manager?

Here's what I finally did to get 181 erupters online in Windows 7 64

1 - Reinstalled the operating system
2 - Installed all the drivers
3 - Installed any and all software
4 - Created a RESTORE POINT (IMPORTANT: Do not insert a single erupter before this point)
5 - staged 10 erupters in their usb slots at a time, up to 100 per bus (don't be fooled by separate ports on your computer, they may still be on the same bus). A high number of USB devices will make your USB buses quite cantankerous and you should allow 30 seconds at least between device stagings
6 - Make sure they are showing up without error under the COM ports in the Device Manager.
7 - launched a separate instance of CGMiner 3.1.1 for 10 erupters each (I find 3.1.1 is much leaner and more stable than later versions)

If for any reason I need to bounce my rig, I've found that the COM port allocations get messed up and eventually CGMiner can't find all my miners. To fix this, I actually perform a system restore to my saved restore point. This is the only way that I've been able to guarantee purging of COM port allocations and have a fresh start at step 5 above.

T'is a thing of beauty

hello!
Cgminer works well with sha256, but with scrypt does not.
It shows 850 kH (it's too much, right?), with no sound/submitted shares for 3 hours.
Is problem in config or in driver?

Code:

{
"pools" : [
	{
		"url" : "stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:3333",
		"user" : "2",
		"pass" : "x"
	}
]
,
"scrypt" : true,
"intensity" : "5",
"vectors" : "2",
"worksize" : "64",
"kernel" : "poclbm",
"lookup-gap" : "0",
"thread-concurrency" : "0",
"shaders" : "0",
"gpu-engine" : "600-840",

i have

1x 7950
and
1x 7850

i need to set gpu-threads to 1 for my 7950
and i need to set gpu-threads to 2 for my 7850

but it seems like setting

-g 1,2

doesnt work?!?!

Correct, it doesn't. -g is a global setting.

Xian - what virus/firewall s/w do you use?

Microsoft Security Essentials.

Have not run the debug build yet. I will on next crash.

EDIT: 20GH/s rig crashed. Downloaded the cgminer.exe 3.4.0 debug build and started her up.

Make sure to set up the debugger as described in the readme in that directory.

Hmm doesn't even look like it's crashing in cgminer, but can't tell for sure. Possibly related? :

Hmm... using COMODO.. will check it out though and report back...

Any version that uses the new USB drivers eventually crashes on me with mwsock.dll causing the error under Windows Sad

Update - confirmed after today's crash, same DLL listed above.. I have a copy/paste of the WIN7 report if needed... haven't run the debug build yet.. doesnt look like Ill have time to tinker until next week... I think my latest run went a day and a half..

Hmm... but that's in the networking code, lemme look back at the changelog and see how that code might have been affected.

CGMiner seems to be randomly closing. I'm running cgminer-nogpu on Win 8x64 with a BFL Little Single and 2 AMUs. It runs in a batch file that loops, and the batch file keeps restarting it, so it is closing nicely, and I haven't lost any downtime. I think it's done it about 4-5 times since I updated to 3.4.0, which was about 8 days ago? The newest one was this morning, after I had left for work. It had been running for about 2 days solid before that.

It never did this before. The AMUs are pretty new. Is it the AMUs causing it, or upgrading to 3.4.0, or both?

Hard to know without excluding one thing at a time? Try running the AMUs in their own instance and see if one the other or both crashes? Also there are debug builds which would help me find out where it's crashing and fix it.

I upgraded to 3.4.0 a few days ago for gpu scrypt mining. I'm still getting unrecovered stratum disconnects. It feels like fewer, but it's at least a miner a day. Is there anything I can do to prevent stratum disconnects or to restart if cgminer hangs on one?

That almost sounds like a pool or internet connection issue, not a cgminer issue.

If you are running Windows, I would suggest cgwatcher. It will monitor your instance and restart if things go bad.

Can't get CGMiner to work with more than 50 erupters... Please see

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3032453

Weird, -8 is an overflow error coming from libusb. Not sure if it's a libusb or operating system limitation. I'm quite sure I've seen others use a lot more than 50 in other threads, but not sure which particular operating system/hardware.
