Created attachment 93006 [details] R600_DEBUG=cs bfgminer 2> ~/bfgminer.txt I have a Radeon HD 6950. When I try to use scrypt with bfgminer (for mining litecoins, for example) bfgminer gives the following output every minute: [2014-01-29 15:57:34] OCL 0: Idle for more than 60 seconds, declaring SICK! [2014-01-29 15:57:34] OCL 0: Attempting to restart [2014-01-29 15:57:34] Thread 0 still exists, killing it off [2014-01-29 15:57:35] Thread 0 restarted and the minig speed is 0.00 hashes/second
This may be the same issue I reported in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74140 If you check CPU usage, you should see a thread stuck at 100% - this is apparently it trying to compile the opencl program. I have not tried waiting a long time to see if it does eventually fire up.

Also after each [2014-02-24 10:00:47] OCL 0: Idle for more than 60 seconds, declaring SICK!

This repeats till it's killed cause of no more free RAM. Should I add this information to your bug report? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 74140 ***
