On SMOS both versions 1.23 and 1.24 crash on each 4GB card, no matter what value for --4g-alloc-size parameter is set. Version 1.22 works well except 560 cards, there it often goes to 0 hash and the rig freezes. Again, I tried many parameters from 3900 to 4080. Sometimes 560 starts, sometimes not. And after several hours it goes to 0.

Yeah, I have done some tests here and concluded the same thing, "On SMOS both versions 1.23 and 1.24 crash on each 4GB card,".

I am experiencing the exact same issues with lolminer 1.23 and 1.24 in SMOS.

124a seems to have fixed it, hashrate seems to be the same.
At first glance 1.24a worked on SMOS, but after several hours some serious troubles began. May be it is related to the MB, I don't know. I'm with asus B250 ME with 12 AMD cards, 10 of which are 4GB. The rig completely freezes at some point, and only cold restart can help. During that time my switch goes nuts and all other rigs on the network stop working. It seems that the damage the versions 1.23-1.24a do to the SMOS and the network are pretty bad. And I spent all day trying to fix it without luck. Now I'm with 1.22 again, although I have some issues with 3 cards, goin to 0 with no matter what value for --4g-alloc-size parameter set between 4074 and 4080. I will continue trying below 4074, although for the 560 card I know that this won't help. There are some invalid shares which are fixed in 1.23-1.24a, but I can't run them. All other cards are working fine with 4080. Anyway, soon I will have to switch to another coin, so it is not a big issue for me. Unless lolminer surprisingly finds a way to restore the full hashrate by some magic with the DAG file.  Grin
