Title: Avalon unit keeps restarting any help ? Post by: thorvald on March 20, 2013, 05:32:44 PM the problem was not fixed
the hub was replaced the psu was replaced it restarts random When the unit stops there is this in kernal logs this Mar 20 19:24:38 OpenWrt2 user.info sysinit: 1156 Mar 20 19:24:42 OpenWrt2 kern.err kernel: [ 41.870000] ath: phy0: Failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x001!

Title: Re: Avalon unit keeps restarting any help ? Post by: kaerf on March 20, 2013, 05:41:01 PM at one point i got those ath: phy0 errors too. after a second reflash of firmware without saving configuration those errors went away.
the thing that catches my eye in the logs is the crond error. make sure your avalon has outbound network access on UDP port 123. also delete /tmp/cm.log for good measure. Title: Re: Avalon unit keeps restarting any help ? Post by: Gator-hex on March 20, 2013, 06:41:45 PM Updated firmware?

Post by: eleuthria on March 20, 2013, 06:47:58 PM Are you mining on a stratum pool that supports vardiff or minimum difficulty settings? When jgarzik was first testing the Avalon, BTC Guild was the most stable/reliable pool with regards to unit restarts due to an aggressive variable difficulty. Since then many other pools have updated to include variable difficulty and/or manual settings. An Avalon should be running at 32+ difficulty. Higher produced even more stability in the unit, but obviously more variance per 24 hour period.
I don't believe this is still a problem with the new firmware (posted above), but it's something to think about. Make sure you're on a pool that will let you adjust to higher difficulties, or has vardiff. Title: Re: Avalon unit keeps restarting any help ? Post by: thorvald on March 20, 2013, 07:38:33 PM i ll try it your way kaerf
the protocol is stratum difficulty min 32 on btcguild no overclock on the system firmware is the version 225 i`ve tested also the latest version 20 but the cgminer did not start i do not have access to the system now,it is in the data center i`ll do it tomorrow morning Title: Re: Avalon unit keeps restarting any help ? Post by: Nexus2k on March 20, 2013, 09:55:07 PM ... Does the datacenter has its own firewalls which could prevent outgoing network traffic to the pools ?i do not have access to the system now,it is in the data center i`ll do it tomorrow morning Title: Re: Avalon unit keeps restarting any help ? Post by: vdragon on March 20, 2013, 09:57:13 PM Check the firewalls, that solved my problems
Title: Re: Avalon unit keeps restarting any help ? Post by: johnyj on March 20, 2013, 10:27:26 PM Have you first tried to disable that cgminer-monitor script or increase the check interval and see what will happen?
I also had at least one restart per day, I reduced the check frequency from 5 to 15, and it is stable since then System->scheduled tasks */15 * * * * /usr/bin/cgminer-monitor Title: Re: Avalon unit keeps restarting any help ? Post by: thorvald on March 20, 2013, 10:29:01 PM if you can please tell me how i`ll do it

I also had at least one restart per day, I reduced the check frequency from 5 to 15, and it is stable since then What about your HW error rate you are having? I will post some interesting rrd graphs tomorrow. It might turn out that a unit can recover alone but it needs a time. The question still remains why is this happening at all. Anyway you will see the graphs tomorrow. It is too late now I think GBT can cause the restarts also (out of memory). My unit had only 3M free ram with all stuff running and stratum. I know that GBT uses a lot more of ram in general. Title: Re: Avalon unit keeps restarting any help ?

Post by: thorvald on March 21, 2013, 09:27:14 AM after more then 30 restarts in the day
the unit didn`t restart any more i`ve done nothing to it +4 btc after last night 8) i can`t explain it Title: Re: Avalon unit keeps restarting any help ? Post by: xiangfu on March 21, 2013, 10:24:51 AM Should be fixed in latest firmware(20130321)

in the version 320 the cgminer did not start so i reverted to 255 it worked just in debug mod the cgminer started with ~0.9.gh 10x Thorvald Title: Re: Avalon unit keeps restarting any help ? Post by: invader on March 21, 2013, 06:55:23 PM Thanks for update! Testing new firmware.
One issue i noticed - when i tried to set API Allow "W:0.0.0.0/0", internal & external monitoring isn't working. So i changed it to "W:127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0/16" to allow my own monitoring scripts. Second minor issue - with dnsmasq option "domain-needed" my internal network plain hostnames (without domain) isn't working. Title: Re: Avalon unit keeps restarting any help ? Post by: thorvald on March 22, 2013, 09:17:11 AM after 22h+ the first restart i`ve updated the firmware to the latest version
after roi donation will be made 10x thorvald |
