This is exactly the symptoms I get. Never finishes initializing the card/s.

These are the configurations on which I'm having failures with teamredminer 3.5.0 and 3.6.0 --  
IBM X36550-M3, Ubuntu server 16.04, kernel 4.4, amdgpu-pro 17.30, 2x MSI Radeon RX560 Aero 4GB
HP z600, Ubuntu server 16.04 and 18.04, kernel 4.4 and 4.15, amdgpu-pro 17.30 and 18.30, ASUS ROG Strix RX570 4GB


Currently have 2 6GPU boxes with much less robust CPU's running just great and at least 1 of the z600's is also running great with teamredminer 3.5.0. Tried watching journalctl when starting the miner. No errors noted. And again, xmr-stak is very stable on these systems, just not as high hashrate.




Team Red Miner v0.3.6 released

https://github.com/todxx/teamredminer/releases

Changes in v0.3.6

  • Added support for Rx550 cards (gfx804).
  • Improved stability on larger rigs, especially with weaker cpus.
  • Improved error reporting on failed initialization.

Hopefully this is another step to achieving stability on larger rigs, especially with weaker cpus. It has been tested by one of the forum users who had both early initialization issues, then stability issues. His rigs have gone from crashing every 30-120 mins to running smoothly for 15+ hours except for (I think) a single crash due to insufficient voltage. I believe we have more work to do though, we'll monitor carefully and try to address all problems that appear.

For people with specific startup issues that are willing to help us nail them down and solve them, please reach out to me with a PM.

The ANN post will be updated shortly by todxx.

still nothing after 5 minutes...

compared it to my Vega rig and there it says "successfully initited…". It never does that with the RX 550 on Linux. So it never finishes initialization.

I tried 1 card on Windows, there it worked.

Hey cryptomanman,

It's strange that you're having issues with that RX 570.  So far I've only see initialization issues on with Vegas when running 18.30 and newer drivers.
Can you try to run the miner again and see if there are any amdgpu/drm errors reported by the kernel driver?
With Vegas I've noticed that the driver will occasionally have problems and report tons of errors in dmesg/kernel logs.
