tinua do you use a german or english version of windows?
I use "Windows8-ConsumerPreview-64bit-German"
I will try this evening with Win7/64 like Epoch do, but with german version and see what happen.

cgminer does not seem to detect my connected bfl single ... is there a setting that i'm missing?
If you are in Windows, your basic command line should look something like this:

Code:
cgminer -o  -u  -p  --disable-gpu -S COM6

The '-S COM6' is the relevant part for your Single. It happens to be COM6 for me, but it will likely be something else for you.

You'll need to open up Device Manager, go to the Ports section, and you should see an entry that looks like 'USB Serial Port (COMx)'. Whatever 'COMx' is in your case, that's what you put into cgminer's '-S COMx' setting. Then your Single should be detected.

edit: I should add that if your COM port is greater than 9, you need to use the 'longhand' form for cgminer. So if, for example, your assigned COM port for your Single was COM12, your command line would need to look like this:

Code:
cgminer -o  -u  -p  --disable-gpu -S \\.\COM12


I've only used the config file for settings, can this not be done from there? Also I've never been clear, when you say command line are you referring to running it from the command prompt?

C5 exception means that a pointer to an unallocated memory was accessed.

It is probably coding error in some logging function (%s vs %d would be my first choice).

Try real quiet option to disable all output.

--real-quiet

It is worth to try.
yes.... working...... it shows messages like submit staleshares!!
but no other infos anymore?
There you go. Problem solved.  Bug is still there.

Nice bit of diagnosing, af_newbie!

I have tried to reproduce Tinua's issue with the cgminer crash using 11 Singles. I used cgminer 2.3.6 on Windows 7/64.

Result: it works fine for me. All 11 are detected, and cgminer is able to mine with all 11 without any issue (other than a minor display formatting issue for the status line for the 11th Single ... BFL10 ... it is offset by 1 character).

Again, note that I have used Windows 7/64 for this trial; Tinua found the issue on Windows 8/64.

Now we need only one, that fix the bug  Wink
Till then, i have to go back to 2 instances for having temp and hash display

Go sleep now...I have 11.30pm and must go work at 5am

I loaded from kolivas-server

The funny is:
- 10 BFL's with 1 instance working
- 11 BFL's with 1 instance crashing
- 1x 8 BFL's and 1x 7 BFL's together with 2 instances working

@af_newbie
"-S bitforce:COMXX" crashing also with more then 10 BFL's

I will set up an 11-unit cluster with 1 instance of cgminer 2.3.6 when I get home later this evening and try to reproduce the issue you are having (if no solution or confirmation is found by then).

I am running Win7/64, not Win8/64, so if it works for me we cannot conclude much. But if I confirm a crash with 11 Singles on Win7/64 (as you've done on Win8/64) then it points to a problem with cgminer.

Tinua,

This is most likely an issue with your USB hub. I have 15 singles running on one instance of cgminer.

Best,
gigavps

Update: With ufasoft-miner no issue....working with 15BFL's in series including hot-swap......no crash!
Can you try with BFGMiner?

I try it bevor.
-S COM1 to -S COM8 working. But he allways say ICARUS found??
-S \\.\COMXX crash bfgminer.

Maybe we can talk about this more exactly in bfgminer-tread, later. Will make screenshot then.
I have now 11pm.

Tinua,

The error message is not very descriptive.
Check if Windows Error Reporting is enabled.

For Win7,
http://www.syschat.com/enable-disable-windows-7-error-reporting-5394.html

Not sure it might in the same spot on Windows 8. 

Hope i find the right one!

Hi folks

If I connect more then 10 BFL's....cgminer crash down after 2 second?Huh
If I start 2 instances of cgminer with <10 BFL's ....cgminer run??
Any idee why?
System: Win8 x64, CGminer 2.3.6

Many thanks for help!

Post more details.  Are you mining on GPUs or just BFLs? What crashes?
Do you have an exception?  What is the exception offset?

Also, details of where you got the windows binary from?
(if you go it from anywhere but http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-2.3.6-win32.zip ?)

Tinua, post a screenshot of the cgminer crash.  It might give us some clues as to where the crash is occurring.

Gigavps, I believe you are running a Linux version ... I will confirm with a Windows 7 version later tonight. A hub issue cannot be ruled out, though. Good suggestion.

Here you go. Smiley

...
Thus with that code (above) the ordering naturally should be BFL first and ICA 2nd if you don't specify "-S bitforce:COM6" or "-S icarus:COM6"
...

Then the bitforce detection is broken as Tinua has reported.

Tinua try putting -S bitforce:COMXX
As my post Krak quoted above states, there is no Bitforce auto detection in windows ... yet.
(I haven't got my BFL yet either)

Kano, the user was not using auto detection.
