Got same error if using boinc 6.10.58

just update my cc_config.xml to

- <cc_config>
- <log_flags>
  <cpu_sched_debug>0</cpu_sched_debug> 
  <work_fetch_debug>1</work_fetch_debug> 
  <rr_simulation>0</rr_simulation> 
  <std_debug>1</std_debug> 
  <task_debug>1</task_debug> 
  </log_flags>
  </cc_config>

so i would be able to give more information for next failing file.

You will need the updated app to work on the Fermi cards.

OK, perfect. Works now !!!

Wonder why we have to manually update ( mw_04cuda files seem older what the regular files).

I think there is/was a CUDA update recently (from NViDIA, not something else) because of the new(er) cards, so the optimized apps can utilize the GPU but not the standard app.

I heard that with the 4xx series being out, and the 5xx or 6xx on the horizon, things like the 2xx series will soon be outdated...not exactly great news to someone like me who just bought a 260 and can't even use it yet (machine not set up).
