Good afternoon!
===
I'll start with the configuration of my equipment:
GPU - 13 Colorful P106-100 Mining (without video outputs) Edition or 12 + 1 MSI 1060/6 (with video output)
Motherboard H110 Pro BTC
===
Downloaded and installed nvoc 18 version.
Starting with the first run, the system immediately began to issue an error and go into reboot. (Screenshot attached) http://prntscr.com/fzo8uv http://prntscr.com/fzobub

If you quickly close this window with an error and try to start the miner - the system starts and mining.

But, the system does not respond to overclocking. Increasing the memory, setting the speed of the coolers, powerlimit - nothing is applied and the system can only run in the stock.

It did not work out, I tried to connect via integrated video graphics, also through a card with a video output. I suspect this is because of the error that pops up at the very beginning, related to xorg.

One error message also appears on one MSI 1060/6 card.

I tried to run the data on the motherboard H81 Pro BTC + net install Ubuntu + version of the drivers Nvidia 384.47 and everything was fine.

Tell me how to solve this problem?
For earlier I express my gratitude!

I ask for prognosis for the possibly incorrect text, tk. I used an interpreter.

nvOC doesn't support integrated graphics.  If you connect a monitor to the integrated graphics you will enter an infinite loop where the system xorg get corrupted then 1bash restores the xorg and reboots.

If you have connected a monitor to integrated graphics previously; after switching to using the primary GPU (the one connected to the 16x slot) you will need to allow the system to reboot once, then on the second boot after changing it should work.



WTF?

UPDATE:

The system finally started. But, overclocking is applied only to the card in which the monitor is inserted. The remaining P106 cards do not overclock. Screenshots I enclose.

It's unclear what else, manual control of the cooler is turned on, set to 100%. But still the system adjusts them automatically.


If you want all the fans set to 100% ensure:

Code:
Maxximus007_AUTO_TEMPERATURE_CONTROL="NO"

Also I changed 1bash to hopefully better support the p106 GPUs in the bux fix version linked at the top of the OP.  I don't have any of these, so these changes were based on what other members have reported.

Looking at your screenshots; it looks like there is a problem either with the image on the ssd or with the ssd itself.  I would try reimaging and using the bug fix 1bash and files.

BTW this rig looks good; I want to make one of these myself.


Thank you!
Fix helped the system to run smoothly.
But the overclocking and any tuning of the action does not apply!

A couple of screenshots as always attached:

I might have to make a custom xorg.conf for the P106-100.  They appear to be using typical pcie addressing; but I am guessing the problem is related to their lack of outputs.

It is hard to know without having some of these P106-100 to test with.

I will add this to the list, and update 1bash to conditionally use that xorg.conf if a P106-100 is detected.




my rigs keep restarting after few minutes. Some after 5 mins some after 30. Im not sure why this keeps happening.

im using all 1070's with core 100 / 1050 also i tried 150-200 / 1100-1600. No luck

what is your power limit on them? for 1070s I would push around 120-125 with a moderate/heavy OC. Anything less can cause stability problems.

my power limits are all at 125

in the home directory there is a file named:

Code:
4_restartlog



open it with gedit and tell me what is there


It says utilization is too low. Reviving did not work so restarting machine


Are you sure the client is connecting correctly to the pool?  If you disable the watchdog:

Code:
IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG="NO"

What happens when you try to mine?

Also what COIN are you mining?


Yea the pool is connecting, If i disable watchdog its still goes. Im trying to mine EXP and SC and switch around to ETH/ETC

Im not sure what you mean by:  switch around to ETH/ETC.

Pools that support different Ethash coins usually have different pool connection urls and use different ports.

Quote
,"message":"Invalidlogin"}}

It looks like you might be using a pool that requires you make a worker before you can connect.  If you aren't trying to connect to the pool with a workername that has already been added at the pool end; it will reject your connection.

I use nvoc for dual mining: DUAL_ETC_PASC

for ETC I can use only etc.nanopool.org or etc.ethermine.org servers, in all other ETC POOL servers I receive the message:

ETH: Authorization failed
: {"id":2,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":null,"error":{"code":-1,"message":"Invalidlogin"}}
Stratum - reading socket failed, disconnect
ETH: Job timeout, disconnect, retry in 20 sec...

Please help me to find a solution.




Even i get this with various coins if i change my pool. I'm not sure why?

Different stratum implementations.  The Genoil miner knows how to deal with these:

Code:
   -SP, --stratum-protocol Choose which stratum protocol to use:
        0: official stratum spec: ethpool, ethermine, coinotron, mph, nanopool (default)
        1: eth-proxy compatible: dwarfpool, f2pool, nanopool
        2: EthereumStratum/1.0.0: nicehash

The Claymore miner doesn't have this option...though you mention using it with Nanopool and Ethermine, and I've used it briefly with NiceHash, so that covers the types that Genoil knows about.  Perhaps it adjusts automatically, but still runs into issues with some pools.

When using Genoil it is as salfter has explained.

Let me send you access to the rig. There are 13 cards, test how much it will fit in

UPDATE:  Cool Cool Cool
Bug Fix you did to make P106 run fine, but here in Xorg to add at least coolbits forgot like .... and why then I have only 10 cards there, instead of 13. I tried to edit, all to register. But after the restart, nvoc restored its xorg.

I hope that after reading, you will quickly send a fix version.
