ReDownLoading 3 times. Still WTF RDLOCK ERROR ON LOCK!  Do you have a new link for http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/temp/cgminer-nogpu.exe?
Ah this is a different issue. Will notify you when a new binary is available.

Hi Mr. Ckolivas.  I have a KnC Saturn with the new 0.98 firmware which includes your new CGMiner for KnC.  Everytime I restart CGMiner via the web interface, and then quickly start a screen session so I can see the startup, I see the warning "Error in configuration file, partially loaded.".  If I start cgminer by hand with '-T -D', I see this error:

Code:
[2013-10-29 23:20:43] Invalid config option --api-network: Invalid value

Looking at the config file saved by the KnC WebUI, I see this line:

Quote
"api-network": false

as the last line in the file, before the closing brace.  Looks ok to me...  Any idea why I am getting an error here consistently?

Edit: the chop1 test is interesting. No failures yet, one hour in. From time to time random LEDs put on a festive but somewhat scary display, for many seconds, often four or five at a time.
Also, the hash rate reported soars randomly from time to time, no apparent correlation with the LED lights. An AMU will show well over 400, sometimes well over 500 Mh/s, then slowly drift back to a normal 333 or so. I don't recall seeing this behavior before, but perhaps I've just missed it. The test continues.
Thanks.

The chop1 test is 3+ hours old and no failures yet. It just did something dramatic though - all 13 AMU LEDs came on at about the same time and the BAL fan throttled down and its hash rate dropped somewhat. A few seconds later everything was back to normal. No smoke, no flames, no melted solder - I'll stay with it a while unless it fails.       Smiley

Heh odd. The ZLP is likely a very real fix for an issue though, and hopefully it's a related issue to what's biting you and indirectly fixed with the chop1 executable. It still doesn't sound like normal behaviour even if it hasn't outright failed, though bear in mind a couple of pools are under ddos yet again so that might be related Tongue

If its flashing than coming back on , did you notice if it said "new block detected , Pool requests restart". At least when I was using eclipseMC that would completely stop mining and then start back up for each block. Another pool does that but it doesn't restart . Eclipse found so many blocks at one point that I had to switch to another pool or just unplug my eroupters.

That's my easy excuse for the calming fans and lights.

As far as I can tell there has been only one message since startup (in the console window) for this run, and that was when Icarus hotplugged the last AMU. Each of these tests seems to have different patterns at startup. Sometimes they are all quick, sometimes there's a pause after a few, and sometimes it thinks it has to hotplug the last one or two. Anyway - no pool-requested restarts on this run that I know of. I have seen that kind of message in the past though. I've been using Slush for most of these tests, and stats there for my miners look pretty normal, within the usual error factors, I think.

Anyway, thanks for the tip and I'll keep my eyes open for pool restart messages. Another tester has been logging his tests (see upthread), so that might help pin things down too.

OK. I'll set chop1 aside and try zlp next. Chop1 has gone almost 4 hours without failure, but it's lively to watch. I'll probably leave zlp unattended for the next 9 hours or so if it gets off to a good start.

Edit: Yikes - zlp is off to a very bad start. Tons of error messages, but they scroll quickly. Let's see - AMU0 Timeout sendwork took (about 2 seconds) but was (about 1 second) sendwork USB write error 7 LIBUSB_ERR_TIMEOUT - that's about all I can grab while it scrolls. It's all intermingled with "accepted" messages from the BAL unit. I've left it running for now in the hope that it might stabilize.

Edit: Did a quick test of zlpcps10 and got similar errors to zlp. I was in too much of a hurry though and didn't disconnect the hubs between tests, so I should test it again. I'm out of time right now though, so I have set it back to running chop1. I'll check the thread in about 10 hours.

Yeah zlp were done blind. Seems they're broken so no one else should bother testing them.

Whew - I was afraid I'd done something goofy - I was in a big rush at the time. No problem, where were we?... I'll stop the chop1 test now. It ran for about 10 hours and has (only) one zombie.

I'll test the "rs" version shortly.

EDIT: Broken, don't bother.

OK, so a bit more testing done this morning on the following 3 builds, using 34 Erupters on 3 Anker 10-port hubs plus a 4-port Silvercrest oldie, all hubs powered off/on before each test, results as follows:

cgminer-cwa16: The first solid LED on an AMU came on after about 30 minutes. No zombie reported - just the
                       hash count slowly declining to zero.  Loads of timeout errors scrolling up the console.

cgminer-chop1: First zombie after about 22 minutes and the usual timeout errors from others.

cgminer-rs:       Three zombies within 10-14 minutes and other AMUs with zero hash count. Loads of timeouts.

Logfiles (without --debug) here if required:

So I'm back to mining on 3.3.1 after completing the above tests and everything is running perfectly.  I would stick with 3.3.1 except that it doesn't always show all the devices on startup, and doesn't handle hot-plugging as well as the later builds.  Perhaps we can't have everything?!

And why 3.3.1? Did it break precisely at 3.3.2?

Puzzling that chop1 was almost error-free for me (if you don't count the festive LED displays) but fairly poor for jmc1517. Messy stuff.

"rs" is looking good for me, 10 minutes in.

Edit: Oops, AMU8 went zombie, 15 minutes in.

Maybe that's the last one to support windows xp. There's at least one poster posting problems with xp.

So I'm back to mining on 3.3.1 after completing the above tests and everything is running perfectly.  I would stick with 3.3.1 except that it doesn't always show all the devices on startup, and doesn't handle hot-plugging as well as the later builds.  Perhaps we can't have everything?!
Why the fuck not goddamnit Sad

And why 3.3.1? Did it break precisely at 3.3.2?


Good question!  The answer is - I don't know as I went directly from 3.3.1 to 3.6.4 which was the latest at that time.

I had taken my eye off software-updates as I had 3.3.1 working perfectly (except for the "sometimes not showing all the devices when starting up" problem, and the "unable to recover an AMU by unplugging/replugging" problem).  But since I get hardly any problems with AMUs going down under 3.3.1, the hotplug problem isn't really a concern, just a "nice-to-have."

I *could* try some intermediate versions between 3.3.1 and 3.6.4 if they are still available, and if it would help?

Edit:  Currently running 3.3.4.  I'll do a 2 hour test on selected builds until I hit the one where it breaks Smiley
