On HiveOS as well, was getting the same problem, and then I tried -gser 2, and that was able to initialize the first 5 cards until the miner detected that my other 3 cards (all NVIDIA 1060 3gb) was unresponsive and it restarted the miner again, then it just keeps going in that loop of creating the DAG for 5 cards and restarting the miner. Is there a way to delay the miner from checking the cards until the -gser 2 has a chance to create the DAG for all the cards?
EDIT: I also want to add that the current HiveOS startup for claymore can load the DAG for all 8 cards all at once.
Please try using the -gser 1 option, or turn off the watchdog with -wdog 0 and see if this fixes the problem. We will make changes in the next release but it is important to know what is happening to avoid the problem in the future.EDIT: I also want to add that the current HiveOS startup for claymore can load the DAG for all 8 cards all at once.
I can report that -gser 1 doesn't work, it tries to generate DAG for the first three cards but stuck at 0%. I can also report that -wdog 0 works and the miner runs fine, it took about 2-3 minutes to fully generate DAG for all 8 cards. I really don't want the watchdog to be disabled though, but I can at least report it works in HiveOS with -gser 2 and -wdog 0, on 8 1060 3GB cards.
EDIT: Also, new problem is that Hive doesn't see the current hashrate. My current miner options are: "-nvidia -leaveoc -gser 2 -wdog 0". It reports to the pool just fine, but in HiveOS it sees temperature and fan speed but not hashrate.
As for the HiveOS not reporting the hashrate - this seems to be intermittent problem with HiveOS itself, it worked fine most of the time but sometimes it wouldn't refresh the hashrate by itself (on the stats graph) but it would show as numbers on the top of the miner status page.

As you can see, it takes about 40 seconds to initialize the first 3 cards, the log is pretty much the same through the rest of the DAG creation. It was able to get a valid share while the DAG was being created for the other cards so it's working as soon as the card is finished initializing.
on -gser 1 it would just list the first 3 cards:
GPU1 GPU1: Starting up... (0)
GPU2 GPU2: Starting up... (0)
GPU3 GPU3: Starting up... (0)
but it would never show "GPU1 Eth: Generating light cache for epoch #214" for any cards after that.
