On HiveOS as well, was getting the same problem, and then I tried -gser 2, and that was able to initialize the first 5 cards until the miner detected that my other 3 cards (all NVIDIA 1060 3gb) was unresponsive and it restarted the miner again, then it just keeps going in that loop of creating the DAG for 5 cards and restarting the miner. Is there a way to delay the miner from checking the cards until the -gser 2 has a chance to create the DAG for all the cards?
EDIT: I also want to add that the current HiveOS startup for claymore can load the DAG for all 8 cards all at once.
Please try using the
-gser 1 option, or turn off the watchdog with
-wdog 0 and see if this fixes the problem. We will make changes in the next release but it is important to know what is happening to avoid the problem in the future.
I can report that -gser 1 doesn't work, it tries to generate DAG for the first three cards but stuck at 0%. I can also report that -wdog 0 works and the miner runs fine, it took about 2-3 minutes to fully generate DAG for all 8 cards. I really don't want the watchdog to be disabled though, but I can at least report it works in HiveOS with -gser 2 and -wdog 0, on 8 1060 3GB cards.
EDIT: Also, new problem is that Hive doesn't see the current hashrate. My current miner options are: "-nvidia -leaveoc -gser 2 -wdog 0". It reports to the pool just fine, but in HiveOS it sees temperature and fan speed but not hashrate.
