Not really, without seeing/knowing your whole set-up. Does it boot up with all 4 GPU cards installed?

If it does and you are in linux did you look into the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if they all getting the drivers loaded ... etc, etc.

At a lower level

$lspci

will tell you what hardware is being recognised on the bus. Probably not a bug related to the miner s.ware so maybe somewhere else is better for this kind of system debugging.

Sounds like you need some technical advice and bitcoins. I'm sure if you put up a "Wanted To Buy" on the Market[lace you'll get urgent help if paying in BTC.
what? lol


I suppose i could since its costing not to get this working

the rig works fine with 3 GPUs

none of the GPU miners work when I install card #4...ideas?

Teknohog, could you please try with Stream 2.1. I can't see why 'vectors' would give invalid results.

With SDK 2.1, the miner does not even compile with vectors Sad

Code:
/tmp/OCLQa31hL.cl(128): error: mixed vector-scalar operation not allowed
          unless up-convertable(scalar-type=>vector-element-type)
        sharound(E,F,G,H,A,B,C,D,R(36),0x650A7354);

But it gets stranger. After reinstalling 2.2, I am getting accepted results with vectors, using the latest version of poclbm. So this looks like an error in my system, and poclbm is fine Smiley

(Possible sources of error: overheated GPU, which is now cooler after the SDK changes; pyopencl, which is the only component I have to manually compile and install with every SDK change.)

I'm encountering this same issue (python 2.6.6 on Ubunu 10.10 with SDK 2.1 and the latest pyopencl (as of this writing)...I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling pyopencl...nothing seems to work.  Wondering if anyone else has had this problem and solved it.

When I put -f to 2000, my whole pc crashed. Wondering why?

Wanted to test how low I could get the gpu usage while idle. With -f 1000 I got 70%.

actually with the latest m0mchill release i'm back using it again  Undecided ... got some on phoenix also ... racing! ... the competition is great.

(hashkill looks like a bit of dark horse, but has a good pedigree on hash track course, so keep an eye on that one)

m0mchill,

just sent you a donation for all the sterling work that your miner has done for me .... moved over to phoenix now but your efforts were appreciated.

cheers,

moa
+1, such a wonderful job. I have been using your miner for months now, sent some coins via youtipit to show my appreciation.

m0mchil, I've been using your miner for months now with no issues, but the latest version seems to be causing me an issue:

Exception in thread Thread-2:
Traceback (most recent call last):

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '4cd591f539230b2adbff06c9d1a53ce6.elf'


Windows, 9800GTX+, using all the same flags I always have. Tried on two different pools just to make sure it wasn't a pool problem & both pools work fine with the version I was using before (3/11)

Any ideas? Smiley

I solved this myself, It was a permissions/folder attributes issue. I don't know exactly what the correct permissions are, but an xcopy /O /K of the previous version's folder; subsequently updated with the contents of the new version; works fine.

Q: Does my video card / driver supports OpenCL?

AMD - 4xxx and up.

You mean HD-4xxx and up, do you?

I know this is a tired subject, but I'm another victim of the "100% CPU" problem. Though everyone else seemed to have it with AMD cards, and I have an nVidia 9500 running on amd64 Linux.

Code:
./poclbm.py --host=<...> --port=8332 --user=<...> --pass=<...> --frames=76 --vectors --device=0 --platform=0

It is actually using the GPU since it goes up to 5.5 Mhps (my CPUs only go up to 2 Mhps on their own, also I was running minerd at the same time on those CPUs), but still uses a large chunk of my CPU (1 whole CPU), so it's not that I have somehow selected the CPU driver.

I've tried playing with some of the settings, turning off vectors only made it worse (it ate 1 CPU and a bit of another), changing the value of frames to 0 or 30 had no difference.
I have tried running it without minerd hogging the CPUs but that made no difference…


If I get this to work I'll be able to pull off over 13 Mhps (4×2Mhps + 5.5 Mhps - rounding), but if the script itself takes up a whole CPU the minerd's performance halves, so I get hardly 9-10 Mhps.


Oh, and hi!, BTW ;-)

How can you tell what version you are running?

Also, how come in cmd, I'm getting about 320Mhash/s (I have 2 cores), but in deeptbit, the average is only 400Mhash/s.

@m0mchil Thank you for the recent update to your miner!  It added 30 Mh/s to my miner.  How sweet that is!

After updating to 20110428 I have the following error (Fedora 15 x86_64; Python 2.7.1). Previous version ran fine.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just git cloned the repo instead of downloading stuff manually as this outdated guide suggests (maybe it should be updated). Everything is working.

I can confirm I'm getting greatly increased speeds.
On my XFX 5870's I went from ~330MHash to ~365MHash, each card, with no noticeable increase in temperature.
