Could it be the bertmod screwing you guys up? I did not install it yet and mine works fine.

Nope, I have bertmod (with zpm fix) installed on mine and no problems.  Rock solid at 560-565GH/s.

I also renamed my asic_test file before FM9.8 also. Probably not related. Miner seemed a bit worse afterwards FYI.

mine is working great w/ bertmod zpm

So, after a while:

583 GH/s at Slush. Woot!

Plenty of extra airflow though house is quite warm at the moment. Temps from 51 to 60.5, about the same I was getting with running it hot in 0.95 getting 520. (500 running it cold)

HW just below 2% from like 16% with 0.95 cold.  (From 4% 0.95 hot.)

Careful not to fry your machine with all those setups of stopped fans with this fw.

Works like a charm! Congratulations to ckolivas and KNC!


No Bertmod. Can't reach Eligius.

Had a small problem with 0.98, hashrate skyrocketed very hard on all the miners (some had a 35% increase in pool hashrate!) but the electricity it draws was too much for one of the UPS, which switched itself off.

Funny thing is that precisely into that UPS I had also plugged in the switch to which all my units are connected, so it brought  down all the farm.

The obvious explanation is that the UPS couldn't handle the power drew by the miner with 0.98 + the 16 ports switch, but that's ridiculous because the switch shouldn't draw more than 10w and the UPS is 1500va, so it is supposed to handle with no problem 900w of continuous power.

I'm now testing a couple of units with 0.98 (the ones in which the increase was spectacular), and I rolled back to 0.97 on the rest. Will report later.

how many and which type of miners?

if anyone likes to have their miner status page and core stats on different pages (so not to constantly check cores) then just put asic_status.pl in /config/mods/ and run this script

Code:

#!/bin/sh
while true
do
for b in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ; do
 perl /config/mods/asic_status.pl > /www/pages/corecurrent.html
 echo $b >> /www/pages/corecurrent.html
 cp /www/pages/corecurrent.html /www/pages/core$b.html
 echo $b
 sleep 1200
done
done

that will create a core status page and also keep archive of the last 9 checks

the sleep is set for 20 minutes

you can change anything you like to fit your tastes
  (if anyone knows a simple way to append and display $b into the corecurrent.html that would be nice to readily show which archive point is last made) thx texaslabrat

So, yeah, its a config file issue for sure. It's adding the extra http prefix - when in the GUI settings it is not present.

We had that problem on one as well. I will get Redacted to jump in here and explain what he did to fix.. I think he overwrote the cgminer.conf file completely, and then it went back to working 100%.

Yep - that's exactly it- I wish I knew how to navigate more in SSH so I could open up the conf and rewrite it.

SSH in
login
cd /config
cat ./cgminer.conf - lists the file out

to edit cgminer config file
nano ./cgminer.conf

to kill the current bad cgminer invocation
killall screen

to restart cgminer
screen cgminer -c /config/cgminer.conf

to copy the factory version of cgminer config over the current one
cp cgminer.factory.conf cgminer.conf

To get into the cgminer running under screen when you log in
screen -dr

Use  CTL-A followed by a lower case d  to detach from the running screen before exiting.

I would think something like "echo $b >> /www/pages/corecurrent.html" would work, no?

not sure on the formatting for the html page, everything is style, table, etc
what would a one line entry need as formatting in the bottom of the html to show it?

i can dig around the internets for it


edit-  seems this is how the power output gets added, so i will do the same

<p>Total DC/DC power output: 492 W</p>


edit 2 -- yes your easy way works..  just shows it on last line no worries

Funny... mine doesn't have nano, nor pico.

vi works fine though.

one solution is to write the value you want to update in a separate file,
then fetch this file via Javascript and replace the value in the currently displayed html

I could provide the JS part if you like

edit:
another (JS free) solution would be -in case sed is available- replace this value with sed, and put into html's header a meta tag for refresh after 10 sec or so

Sorry - was thinking of the PI.  I always use vi so I don't know what alternatives there are on a given dialect of linux....

Basically nothing, it will just be a plain number at the very end of the page.  You could make it fancier if you wanted by including some formatting tags or whatever, maybe change the font and size to make it more obvious.

little off topic, but I've written a status-page for myself containing global hashrate und other stuff I fetch from blockchain.info
Last 2 days, each time I'm looking onto it, 2 values keep changing in an unexpected way:
 *'blocks per hour' decreasing, currently down to 6.1 => https://blockchain.info/q/interval (in seconds)
 *'global hashrate' decreasing, currently down to 2.876 PH/s => http://blockchain.info/q/hashrate (in GH/s)

guess 2d is too long for variance ?

the append works simple.  It adds the count to the current html so you can easily know where in the archive it is currently at

I don't like to run asic_status often, but it is nice to have an archive of the last 3 hours like this

I've noticed that too but the estimate diff seems to still grow...   showing 431mil now as next diff and still 1376 blocks left to go

you'd think the network hash would be flying up and blocks per hour over 8

Uh oh.  I sure don't like what .98 did to my Saturn after a few minutes:

[DPoS]

as a reminder to all with multiple miners....    just update ONE and see how it goes on next firmwares

[DimensionsOfHell]

So far with fw 0.9.8 my saturn went from 135GH/s to 203GH/s at the pool. That is the first time I've seen it hit 200GH/s. I wish I could get to 270+ like some of you guys are getting.

Hey, have you used bertmod to see what is going on in there? Post those stats, maybe give you some ideas. Hurry!

and enablecores.bin

I wasn't able to get bertmod to work with the 0.9.8 fw, I don't know if someone else was able to.
While I was on 0.9.4, I saw that one of my boards has a dead vrm and a bad vrm, while my other board has one bad vrm.

enablecores.bin didn't make any changes. It went up to 220GH/s on the CGMiner for a minute, but slowly settled back down to 212GH/s at the CGMiner and 210GH/s at the pool.

[Tehfiend]

Update:

Workaround for the Eligius pool.

- Get your miner on .98

- Setup BTCGuild as your pool

- Once that is verified hashing, working..

- Go back into Mining tab and then switch out to stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 | your address

- save

- restart cgminer

- instant connects!

I have done this and verified on 4 separate Jupiters.

Cheers!

Hmm I still haven't been able to get eligius working and have been trying pretty much everything. I get very random results where it often appears to start working but then starts throwing those weird errors. The good news is that BTCguild is working great and has been stable at 550GH/s which is a 15GH/s improvement over 0.97.
