I've been trying to get BAMT working for the past couple of hours without success. About a year and a half ago I had set up my own mining farm and scripts to generate webpages. Now I'm moving some miners to a new location and figured that BAMT should be the easy way to go. Wrong! Someone please point out the obvious as I'm pulling my hair out.

First and foremost, no matter what I do I cannot get BAMT to think my two 5830's are configured. I've tried disabled=0 of course, and fiddled with the overclock settings, and tried pre_oc_cmd. Pools are set up exactly as they ought to be for Phoenix in /etc/bamt/pools. I've tweaked things here and there but:

Cards display on the desktop as not configured (mother -v does not change this)
Cards do not overclock as set
pre_oc_cmd does not run
Fan speed does not change to 100%
Cards do not mine
Various status pages (web/gpumon/etc) show nothing

I've checked the /live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE/ directory; it is empty.

After doing this for a while I decided to test the remote capabilities. When I log in via SSH and try various aticonfig commands, I get:

Code:

ERROR - X needs to be running to perform ATI Overdrive(TM) commands

startx:

Code:

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0

Edit: Solved aticonfig errors both with export DISPLAY=:0.

GAH! And regardless, it still won't mine.

Again, someone PLEASE tell me I'm missing something obvious here. Been reading through the full /opt/bamt/examples/bamt.conf ... no clue. At this point I'm feeling that I could have installed Ubuntu and drivers from scratch and still been ahead time-wise. Tongue

BAMT will not work out for everyone. My advice is to spend no more than 15 minutes screwing around with it, and if you're not mining, move on to something else.
If you'd really like to try and make it work, please post your config to pastebin or somewhere.
