I'm useing poclbm under Ubuntu with one HD5970 and I’m getting always the following error message after starting mining with the second core (./poclbm.py -d 2):
”Verification failed, check hardware!”
  (With the first GPU core (./poclbm.py -d 1) everything works fine.)
Is my GPU damaged or is this a software/setting bug?
How could I test under Ubuntu that both of my GPU cores are ok?

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

You should disable Crossfire or use old version of poclbm on Windows.

Code:
$ ./poclbm.py

[0] Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU         870  @ 2.93GHz
[1] Cypress
[2] Cypress

$ aticonfig --crossfire=off --adapter=all
CrossFire chain(s) disabled
Warning: X needs to be restarted before CrossFire changes take effect.

$sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
(restart ok)

$ ./poclbm.py -d 2

284326 khash/s

Verification failed, check hardware!

Verification failed, check hardware!

Verification failed, check hardware!

 

The first core running perfectly:
Code:
./poclbm.py -d 1 
284379 khash/s


What's wrong with the second core?
Can I test it somehow if it's not damaged physically?

I have the same problem with -d 2 and Verification failed.  I'm on Debian Squeeze instead of Ubuntu.

The issue is this:

1. disabling crossfire requires restarting X.
2. restarting X automatically re-enables crossfire every time- to verify this, run:
sudo aticonfig --lscs
sudo aticonfig --lsch
