RX 6600 not mining with phoenixminer.
gminer works. please update your code.

It does. I am using Windows 10/PM 5.8c and RX6000 is running well.

I would say it works somehow, but there are still a lot of bugs needed fixing.

My problems with PM started back in May or June when I try to run RX 6700 XT in HiveOS. First, I had to run an older version of PM to make it works. Then, I found -clKernel 0 is fixing this issue, but the GPUs which are running with it, are producing a lot of invalid shares, and the hashrate is unstable. Since then, I added some RX6600's to that rig, and PM had a few updates, but I never got my RX 6x00 cards working with -clKernel 1. Anyway I believe, this issue is on the HiveOS side (I try to contact them, but no answer from them yet) because PM requires current new drivers, but Hive sticks with old ones. I think PM devs need to work with Hive to resolve it.

Now back to my Windows rigs.
When I run any of my RX 6x00 GPUs on my testing PC as a single card with current PM, I do not have any issues. Frequencies and voltages changes as expected -clKernel 1 works fine, and cards are singing.
All my problems are starting after moving the cards to a mixed rig. Unfortunately, I don't have enough GPUs and free space to combine only cards of the same type.
After swapping GPUs around my rigs, the current situation is:
Running Windows 10 Pro 21H2 with AMD driver 21.8.2 minimal required for RX 6600 XT. Driver 21.8.1 is more unstable, and higher versions do not make any better.
The RX 6600 XT now is running as expected, but in the past, on a different rig with driver 21.10.2 I had to run it with -clKernel 0 together with some other BigNavi cards.
The problem now is an RX 5500 XT which must be run with -clKernel 0 and it does not accept the commands -cclock and -cvddc from the miner unless I do not change OC settings in the AMD software before I start the miner. This makes the card jump power usage from 50-52 Wats to over 80 Wats with no changes on the hashrate.
Another issue shows up on this rig after I added the RX 6600 all Polaris cards, or randomly some of them are unable to init straps and set straps. For more details, please see parts of my log file posted below.

P.S. Also on this rig, I currently have a couple of 4G Nvidia cards, mining RVN.

I use RX6000 (non-XT) with WIndows10 21H2, AMD driver 21.10.2, PM 5.8C in a rig with five RX5700(XT) and one RX6600 without a single issue.
