I'd be happy to throw my 500+ Mhash/s into the mix if it'll help the pool get back on its feet.

now do some fixer!
Code: [Select]
/opt/bamt/fixer
hit enter a few times until you get your prompt back.

cd /opt/

make install
/usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh --force
sync
coldreboot
I don't know if the --enable-bitforce flag is required, seems sort of ridiculous but it works regardless so I would leave it.
the URL to cgminer's files will likely change when a new version comes out. you can just change the number in the URL and it will get that version. at least 2.5.0 is the latest today.
now we need our new driver, i haven't tried 12.6 yet, it might be faster.
Code: [Select]
cd /home/user/Desktop/
wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run
chmod 755 amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run

coldreboot
Code: [Select]
nano /etc/bamt/bamt.conf
set each card to be enabled in the bamt.conf (diabled: 0) so that mgpumon doesn't think the cards are disabled. don't change clocks or anything though, the cgminer conf does that.
also make sure each card has cgminer: 1 on it, like this:
Code: [Select]
gpu1:
disabled: 0
cgminer: 1
and somewhere in the settings part you need a 'cgminer: 1', anywhere above the # GPU Configuration should work. I doubt you would need the cgminer opts because bamt isn't loading cgminer, but for the sake of flying cows let's put something there.
like this:
Code: [Select]
...
cgminer: 1
cgminer_opts: --api-listen --auto-gpu --auto-fan -c /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf
# GPU Configurtation
and that having been said, I just found a typo in bamt.. configurtation?
ok so ctrl+o to save, ctrl+x to exit nano.
Code: [Select]
apt-get remove network-manager*
this is to remove the network-manager apps that cause the system to lose it's IP after a few hours, it's optional, but i recommend it. scroll up a couple posts in this thread for instructions on the layout of this file you should edit:
Code: [Select]
nano /etc/network/interfaces
and then restart the network.
Code: [Select]
/etc/init.d/networking restart
now let's start cgminer to create a config file. alternatively, instead of starting cgminer right now you could just create a cgminer.conf and paste in working settings. if you do it that way, enter the aticonfig and the export lines before you start cgminer.
Code: [Select]
aticonfig --adapter=all --initial -f
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
cd /opt/miners/cgminer
./cgminer
cgminer will ask you for your URL, username, pass, etc for the first pool, set that up, then hit S for settings, then W to write config file, save it as /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf then hit Q to quit, then edit your conf from nano using:
Code: [Select]
nano /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf
and you should have a configuration that's somewhat ready. you could alternatively use cgminer itself to set all the settings you want, then save, it really doesn't make a difference at this point.
now that nano is open, let's mod the config some. since I already have this set up, here's a working config:
Code: [Select]
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "http://whateverpool.com:8332",
"user" : "yourusername",
"pass" : "yourpassword"
}
]
,
"intensity" : "14,14,14",
"vectors" : "2,2,2",
"worksize" : "64,64,64",
"kernel" : "diablo,diablo,diablo",
"gpu-engine" : "800-1155,800-1135,750-1000",
"gpu-fan" : "70-85,70-85,70-95",
"gpu-memclock" : "0,0,0",
"gpu-memdiff" : "-150,-150,-150",
"gpu-powertune" : "0,0,0",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.000,0.000,0.000",
"temp-cutoff" : "92,92,92",
"temp-overheat" : "87,87,87",
"temp-target" : "82,82,82",
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "120",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "1",
"retry-pause" : "5",
"scan-time" : "60",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}
that's for 3 cards, 2 of them are 7970 and the 3rd is a 7950. seems to be working alright.
ctrl+o to save, ctrl+x to exit nano.
now technically speaking, you're done.
go start mining!
Code: [Select]
cd /opt/miners/cgminer
./cgminer --api-listen --auto-gpu --auto-fan -c /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf
Now it's running, but if your session dies (if you close the terminal window) cgminer will stop. So we need to put it in a screen so it can mine forevers!
Code: [Select]
screen
./cgminer --api-listen --auto-gpu --auto-fan -c /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf
ctrl+a d
Now cgminer is running in the screen. Note that 'ctrl+a' are pressed together but release 'ctrl' when hitting 'd'. To see your screens, enter:
Code: [Select]
screen -ls
And to reattach a screen, now that you know the screen's number, you can reattach that screen with:
Code: [Select]
screen -r ####
If you get an 'all devices disabled, cannot mine' error, try doing a sync and coldreboot, might take a couple tries.
