NEW VERSION - 2.4.1, MAY 6 2012
Human readable changelog: --benchmark won't crash A pool will only be disabled if it rejects shares for at least 3 minutes in a row. Then it will be checked every longpoll to see if it is accepting shares, and if so, will be re-enabled. Should work when Icarus is combined with BFL More accurate hashrate on Icarus Ztex quad 1.15y support Extra device stats in RPC API
Full changelog - In the unlikely event of finding a block, display the block solved count with the pool it came from for auditing. - Display the device summary on exit even if a device has been disabled. - Use correct pool enabled enums in api.c. - Import Debian packaging configs - Ensure we test for a pool recovering from idle so long as it's not set to disabled. - Fix pool number display. - Give cgminer -T message only if curses is in use. - Reinit_adl is no longer used. - API 'stats' allow devices to add their own stats also for testing/debug - API add getwork stats to cgminer - accesible from API 'stats' - Don't initialise variables to zero when in global scope since they're already initialised. - Get rid of unitialised variable warning when it's false. - Move a pool to POOL_REJECTING to be disabled only after 3 minutes of continuous rejected shares. - Some tweaks to reporting and logging. - Change FPGA detection order since BFL hangs on an ICA - API support new pool status - Add a temporarily disabled state for enabled pools called POOL_REJECTING and use the work from each longpoll to help determine when a rejecting pool has started working again. Switch pools based on the multipool strategy once a pool is re-enabled. - Removing extra debug - Fix the benchmark feature by bypassing the new networking code. - Reset sequential reject counter after a pool is disabled for when it is re-enabled. - Icarus - correct MH/s and U: with work restart set at 8 seconds - ztex updateFreq was always reporting on fpga 0 - Trying harder to get 1.15y working - Specifying threads on multi fpga boards extra cgpu - Missing the add cgpu per extra fpga on 1.15y boards - API add last share time to each pool - Don't try to reap curls if benchmarking is enabled.

No in fact that is totally unexpected, though I don't have 14GH in one machine to kick around so I'm not sure how much ram that would require. Unless you have some kind of low limit on number of threads, pid_max, some ulimit set, some cgroup limitation or otherwise, I've tried hard so far to keep resource usage low on cgminer.
It's actually a stock BAMT install.. I haven't dug into the configuration of BAMT itself, I had assumed it was stock Debian limits as far as system variables go. Defaults on debian are not that restrictive. Maybe something different in the setup. Check the output of all the following commands: cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max cat /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max cat /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count ulimit Limits all look normal to me.. thread_max is low, but shouldn't have caused a problem: root@bfl-1:~# cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max 32768 root@bfl-1:~# cat /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max 28097 root@bfl-1:~# cat /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count 65530 root@bfl-1:~# ulimit unlimited None of those are likely to be hitting the limits then. So unless you're running some (possibly java) software concurrently that is woeful in resource usage, I really have no idea why you're having this issue.

For some reason 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 will not properly save the configuration file for me. On restart after saving and having everything working I get this. [2012-05-07 02:24:42] Started cgminer 2.4.1 [2012-05-07 02:24:42] Started cgminer 2.4.1 [2012-05-07 02:24:42] Loaded configuration file cgminer.conf [2012-05-07 02:24:42] Fatal JSON error in configuration file. [2012-05-07 02:24:42] Configuration file could not be used. [2012-05-07 02:24:42] Icarus Detect: Failed to open bitforce:COM3 [2012-05-07 02:24:43] Found 0 ztex board(s) [2012-05-07 02:24:43] Need to specify at least one pool server. Input server details. URL:
This isn't a tragedy per se but it makes it very hard to restart to try to reset my averages or change placement. I suppose I could start putting everything in the batch file assuming I can specify 2 pools. The Bitforce single was detected every time. My configuration file is as follows from this last start. { "pools" : [ { "url" : "http://pool.bitclockers.com:8332", "user" : "UserName", "pass" : "Password" }, { "url" : "http://localhost:8331", "user" : "XXX", "pass" : "xxx" } ],
, "api-port" : "4028", "disable-gpu" : true, "expiry" : "120", "gpu-dyninterval" : "7", "gpu-platform" : "0", "gpu-threads" : "2", "log" : "5", "net-delay" : true, "queue" : "2", "retry-pause" : "5", "scan-time" : "60", "temp-hysteresis" : "3", "shares" : "0", "load-balance" : true, "kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
I am confused by the kernel-path line as I used the executable for windows and run Windows 7 64 bit. That line should be for linux I am unsure on Unix possibly in it as well. I know that removing that line does not make it load but my pre 2.4 version did not list it in the configuration file that I remember. Should I change that to somewhere else? Thanks for the help.

I am sure LPs from the Bonuspool are working again, so I don't see why it should act like this Thanks, Brat It has to actually *accept* a share from the work generated from a longpoll which only happens once every 10 minutes on average, and you may not actually get a share if you're unlucky, especially with only one device. Unfortunately the code is also only tested in artificial situations, so I can't say with 100% certainty it will work in all situations either. In this scenario, it appears not to have.

For some reason 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 will not properly save the configuration file for me. On restart after saving and having everything working I get this. It's as kano said, that extra comma is an error to do with you not running any GPUs. Will need to be fixed in the next version. You'll have to edit it manually for it to work at the moment.

Does it run stable @850MHz with this driver? Try 12.2, 12.3. Onle the first card crashes (0/monitor connected), another ones works well...
