So I'm trying to run this on one of my Windows boxes and it's giving me the error "Could not locate the specified kernel!" how do I specify where it should be looking and what do I need in the directory?
You need to open the command line window and change the directory to the folder you have phoenix in. Then just type in the commands and flags posted above for the pool you are using and your video card.
That's what I was doing. Removing the -k poclbm seems to have solved the problem. If you try to specify the kernel in the windows version, even if it's the default one, it will fail. Letting it default to poclbm seems to work fine though.
This is what in the bat file which is in phoenix-1.3 folder & it runs perfectly for me.
