Hi , I really need your help.


I have tried using GuiMiner and Phoenix.exe through cmd

At first I got failed to apply BFI_INI patch to KERNAL. does your card support BFI_INI.

Then I decided to check.




My card does support it : - ATI 7950.



I checked GPU- Z, openCL supported. I then ran LUXmark 2.0 - scored 1900.

I can not get it to run.

d:\bitcoin\phoenix>phoenix.exe -u http://********:PASSWORD*******:1111/ -k phatk2 DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INI AGGRESSION=4

gives:-

Wrong platform or more than one OpenCL platform found, use PLATFORM=ID to sell one of the following

• AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
[1] Intel<r> OpenCL

ok, then :-

PLATFORM=0

FATAL kernel error: failed to apply BFI_INT patch to kernel! Is BFI_INI supported on this hardware?

Same for PLATFORM=1 at end of cmd.

What do I do....

I'm going slowly insane.

cmd path is correct.

(start/D d:\bitcoin\phoenix).

Have you got Catalyst control center installed and the latest drivers?

Yes:

CCC 12.8

AMD-APP-SDK-v2.7-Windows-64

intel_sdk_for_ocl_applications_2012_x64

What OS are you running?

win 7 64bit

Are you right clicking and clicking "run as administrator" on command prompt?

Yes its running as admin and UAV on win7 is switched off....

Sounds very strange, have you tried GUI miner with the ui?

Yeap...


Same problem.....................................................................




I'm clueless.


 ???



I guess the money I spent on uni was worth it............................................................................. ....................         :'(



Should have taken computing not history.

haha yeah! Trust me you don't wan't to work in ict :) In the flags box add opencl  if that doesn't work Id still suspect a driver issue I would re install CCC see what happens if not try creating a new user account on your pc.

Stupid question....


Where's the flags box....

I've resorted to running phoenix.exe through the cmd

Also remove BFI_INI

I've already tried removing BFI_INI

Try d:\bitcoin\phoenix>phoenix.exe -u http://********:PASSWORD*******:1111/ WORKSIZE=256 DEVICE=0 VECTORS OPENCL AGGRESSION=11 FASTLOOP=FALSE

Still get select platform followed by FATAL kernel error: Failed to apply BFI_INI

Did an open CL bench,


CLbenchmark

and luxmark 2.0

Open CL is working normally.

What pool you using 1111 as the port seems rather strange!

I just typed that there....


actual setting api.bitcoin.cz:8332 - Slush

Your monitor is plugged into this card right?

It gets a little stranger....  :o


I can get cgminer to work.


I get 314.2 Kh/s which seems pretty low for a 7950.


Here are my settings:


 -o http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332  -u ****.**** -p ****** --shaders 1792 --intensity 13 --worksize 256 -g 1

Yes!!!!


At least I hope so  :D

Your mining on your cpu there :P

I don't think your gpu is device 1 :/

Im guessing your graphics card must be device=2 or even 3

one quick way to get the device number for your cards is to use guiminer - in the dropdown it will say the gpu type and device id although it will have 0-0 for example, use the first number only.

^Never thought of that, I know on a proper od you just type 'aticonfig --list-adapters'
 ;)

I'm not sure how to change it on cgminer....


I used a java script to write the .bat.


I've been using phoenix....

If it make life easier and you trust me I can login to your pc and see whats going on, or just share your screen....you got skype? if not theres always joinme

Ok

Guiminer lists:

Tahiti [0-0]
[0-1] intel(R) Core i5 2500
[1-0] intel(R) Core i5 2500

so its defiantly Device 0

Cool.

Sounds like there may be config that is forcing the BFI_INT (which the 7950 doesnt support i believe)

I'll give a Bitcoin reward of a day of mining to whoever can fix it!!!


And some to jamesmd for being so helpful...


once I get it up.

try the phoenix with BFI_INT=false

i believe with the kernel phatk it is on by default.  I think this is the way to turn it off (i actually dont use it so i cant verify myself)

Also, here is the thread for Phoenix 2 (which is the supported version).  THe first post has all the flags.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=75786 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=75786)

It does comment that the BFI_INT is only supported on 5xxx/6xxx cards

^ BFI_INT=false Does seem to work! Hope it works on your card, seems to have disabled it on mine

True. It doesn't work.

are you still getting the BFI_INT error?

I'm going to bed. Thanks for the help though....


My head hurts.

not good! try this anyways   phatk2 DEVICE=0 VECTORS4 WORKSIZE=128 BFI_INT=FALSE AGGRESSION=4

Also, verify there is not a phoenix.cfg file in the directory - if there is - it may be overriding and turning the BFI_INT on.

If you are passing config on the CLI then get rid of the .cfg file would be my reco.

Here you go I solved it.



kernel = phatk2
    start_undetected = True
 
I have to enable start_undetected.
