Title: [FIXED] Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: libertybuck on March 01, 2013, 10:59:07 PM Today morning I login btcguild to check my avalon. To my surprise I find both of my avalon IDLE there with mining speed 0. :o
http://www.unifycall.com/update/avalon-issue.gif I am not sure what happened so I login openwrt console and run the following command: Code: root@OpenWrt:~# /etc/init.d/cgminer stop Code: root@OpenWrt:~# And then I run ps command still could not find cgminer running. I am not sure if it has relation with btcguild pool so I change pool to ozco and run the above commands again. Still nothing luck. Now, I run the following command: Code: root@OpenWrt:~# cgminer -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -o http://us.ozco.in:8331 -O xxxxxx.0:yyyyy--avalon-options 115200:24:10:45:282 Base on the above fact I am afraid both of my two avalon are broken. How stange it is ! Both of them broken at the same time ! My avalons run well for the past 14 days and then crash at the same time ! Any one could understand it ? Because I fail to contact nzhang via email and phone call so I have to post topic here. YiFu, nzhang, xiangfu, anyone of your three please contact with me via phone call or email I will prepare teamviewer for you with it you could login my avalon to have a check. Urget help needed!

Silly of me to ask maybe, but have you tried turning it off and on again? Did you get the firmware update that jgarzik got?

Unlikely both have failed at exactly the same time. More likely is you started them at the same time and some sort of memory leak / OS error is causing this. I expect a restart will probably fix the problem.

Yes. have you tried turning it off and on again? Sure. I tried reboot command under openwrt console several times. Each time after avalon rebooted with ps command I could find cgminer dispear soon. Title: Re: Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: Beepbop on March 01, 2013, 11:09:05 PM Do you not have physical access, or a remote controlled PDU? Sometimes hard reset (power off, and on again) might be needed.

More likely is you started them at the same time and some sort of memory leak / OS error is causing this. I expect a restart will probably fix the problem. Sir, I run them at 14 days before at the same time. And based on the above btcguild picture we could see they do not mine at the same time. I just restarted them many times nothing turns good. Title: Re: Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: libertybuck on March 01, 2013, 11:11:53 PM check the cable connections inside the box too Sir, they are two avalon located in different rooms. No one touch them because they are all working well last night before I went to sleep.

You had 2 working avalon for 14 days and thought was not worth just mentioning that in the relevant threads where people are begging for delivery info? Wow... that is going to score karma points...anyways, a bus error might indicate a core dump due to many reasons, a change in data supplied (increase in difficulty to 4*10ˆ6) or over heating Can you point it to another pool? Turn one machine off and let it cool down for an hour? What does dmesg give you as unusual errors?

So I really hope this is just a hardware controller hanging (inconsistent state cleared by power reset) or something like that.

Title: Re: Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: Beepbop on March 01, 2013, 11:42:53 PM Things to try
Title: Re: Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: kaerf on March 01, 2013, 11:44:23 PM I have to mention 2 avalon because they crash at the very same time. I feel it quite abnormal. ... I am afraid it is hardware related issue. Since they're failing at the same time, I would actually think it's a software issue. Very unlikely that hardware would fail at the same time. However, if it's software, the same problem could happen to both machines at the same time. Title: Re: Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: Beepbop on March 01, 2013, 11:49:40 PM In list of things to try:
Jgzarik.. Hows your Avalon? Can you say in red that you don't have an Avalon. ;DTitle: Re: Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: libertybuck on March 01, 2013, 11:54:42 PM Since they're failing at the same time, I would actually think it's a software issue. Very unlikely that hardware would fail at the same time. However, if it's software, the same problem could happen to both machines at the same time. I think so. But, the strange thing is that, I restarted cgminer several times, and I rebooted avalon several times, and, I changed mining pools too. So, not easy to understand.

I have no direct experience but I can imagine the power quality in China might not be the best. Surges from industrial equipment turning on can damage all electronics. The power supply in theory should provide some protection but not always. Do you live in an industrial area?

I'm an auto mechanic and worked on a 14 year old van the other day We've been working on it since it was new. The drivers window stopped working so I went to the switch to check it out and the switch wasn't plugged in. That door had never been apart before it must have not been plugged in fully by the factory and came loose over time. Plugged it in and has been working fine since. Connections can be oddly fickle.

Dosent make any freaking sense. How far way where the locations from each other?
Since that its a "modular design" and that you get a bus error, have you tried disconnecting some of the modules and boot with only one or 2 module? Maybe the pool sent a "share of death" that killed your hardware. How funny would that be? (Sorry for the joke) Title: Re: Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: debianlinux on March 02, 2013, 02:32:03 AM And the remaining window fro GPU mining got some fraction wider.

This also happens to be the maximum value of a 64 bit unsigned int. That is not the correct difficulty. The bus error suggests an attempt to read from memory outside the real range. Both of these point to some kind of memory corruption issue, which is either a cgminer bug (not very likely) or a bug in the avalon driver (quite likely). (A hardware error on the control board is also possible, but unlikely on two independent devices.) Title: Re: Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: Bogart on March 02, 2013, 02:58:59 AM Did issue begin when the difficulty recently readjusted, perhaps?
You might try mining on testnet and see if that behaves any differently. I'm not sure how much a pool hides the network difficulty from a miner. cgminer somehow seems to always know the network difficulty and display it for me regardless of what pool I use. Title: Re: Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: testerx on March 02, 2013, 03:04:14 AM Sounds like a software or network issue since it's unlikely that both units would simultaneously have hardware failure. I'd drag it over to a friends place or something and see if it works on their network, update the firmware, reset it to whatever defaults it has, etc.
Title: Re: Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: Korbman on March 02, 2013, 03:26:14 AM Sounds like a software or network issue since it's unlikely that both units would simultaneously have hardware failure. I'd drag it over to a friends place or something and see if it works on their network, update the firmware, reset it to whatever defaults it has, etc. This is my thought as well...near simultaneous failures from the hardware generally (at least in the SysAdmin world) rules out hardware errors (though it's possible). Have any recent updates been applied (intentionally or not), can any other pools be reached, or have any networking changes occurred (not being in China, I don't know how much they'd limit connections for Bitcoin)? Just some food for thought. I'll think about it for a bit, though I'm sure there are dozens of capable minds in this community that can far surpass mine. I'm curious to see what BitSyncom comes back with.

Title: Re: [FIXED] Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: johnyj on March 18, 2013, 12:13:46 AM I ran into the same problem tonight, it is caused first by 30 minutes of no internet connectivity due to my ISP's problem with their gateway (20 minutes), then cgminer restarted itself several times by cron and eventually entered into a mode that only throw error message like this in status page:

I reflashed the firmware without saving the previous configuration. It started to hash away on the default settings that come with the firmware. Soon as I changed the settings to BTCGuild (with stratum) it went right back into the same error. ------------------------ Any ideas? Title: Re: [FIXED] Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: Vicus on March 22, 2013, 04:16:10 PM try different pool and/or different protocol?

if you flash without keep settings you just need to add the pool and user if not you need to change the the cgminer file in /etc/init.d/ and add "W:127.0.0.1" https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#20130321 Title: Re: [FIXED] Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: PuertoLibre on March 22, 2013, 04:40:53 PM had the same problem How do I go about doing that?

Title: Re: [FIXED] Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: thorvald on March 22, 2013, 05:02:41 PM the easyest way is to flash it without keep settings(you just need te add the pool and user)
the other way if you upgraded the firmware after you set the password use winscp and connect to the ip of the avalon using scp connection + user root + passsword that you set navigate to folder /etc/init.d/ select cgminer press F4 for edit add ip save from system stop start process cgminer.

No need, flashing new firmware does NOT overwrite existing settings. Title: Re: [FIXED] Avalon URGENT ISSUE: both of my avalon do not work any more Post by: PuertoLibre on March 22, 2013, 05:26:14 PM With your collective help I got it going.
Despite following the Wiki's instructions I did not know I had to restart the cgminer process. Like JohnyJ I assume it would automatically "work" if you just plugged it in. Strangely, even with a hard reset it still didn't work. If I manually reset the process it did pick up the changes.
