Title: Ubuntu 11.04 - 5970 - No valid I/O port address Post by: lamething on January 03, 2012, 11:48:38 PM I have been mining quite consistently on a BAMT rig for the past 5-months. The setup has been an ASUS P5B with 4x Sapphire 5830s. I am using 3 - PCI 1x risers with 5v power and then a single PCI-E 16x slot.
Here comes the issue! I decied to pick up a Diamond 5970 and sold one of my 5830's to a friend. I replaced the 5830 in the PCI-E 16x slot with the new 5970. Once booted I immediately started getting this: Code: lamething@miner2:/var/log$ aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all I then did a : Code: lamething@miner2:/var/log$ aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all I have since moved the system to a Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit install and am now back in the exact same spot. I currently am using the AMD 11.6 fglrx driver from here http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run (http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run) I have also attempted to use the Ubuntu 11.04 repository fglrx, same issue and Catalyst 11.10 -- all driver installs have been done a clean Ubuntu 11.04 64bit installation. Here is the device section of my xorg.conf: Code: Section "Device" I believe this is the root issue in the Xorg.0.log: Code: [ 13.991] (==) fglrx(0): NoAccel = NO I verified that they PCI configuration is correct: Code: lamething@miner2:/var/log$ lspci -vv | grep Radeon Code: lamething@miner2:/var/log$ lspci -vv | grep Radeon Any information/ideas is greatly appreciated. I have been troubleshooting this for 2-days straight now and am just at a loss. Thanks!

I then had to go into my BIOS and enable ACPI 2.0 and disable APCI APIC support. Then I went through and disabled EVERY possible peripheral device including the USB controller itself (managing the miner remotely). And then boom! Everything showed up properly in /proc/interrupts and aticonfigs were working across all cards! I guess that is what I get for using an old(ish) MB. Haha.

It didn't run through the night. I quickly did a: Code: apt-get install procinfo Then ran procinfo: Code: irq 0: 135 timer irq 22: 60 hda_intel PCI-3 (my 5970) is showing pretty high interrupts. This unfortunately may not be a long term solution. :( Title: Re: Ubuntu 11.04 - 5970 - No valid I/O port address Post by: P4man on January 04, 2012, 04:39:10 PM Are you using 64 bit ubuntu? If you arent, you should.
You can also try disabling everything you dont need in the bios, like floppy, firewire, audio, etc. Title: Re: Ubuntu 11.04 - 5970 - No valid I/O port address Post by: casascius on January 04, 2012, 05:11:54 PM I agree, I had issues with 3+ cards with 32bit ubuntu that magically vanished when I did nothing other than switch to 64-bit. OP mentions already being 64-bit though.

All-in-all it looks like disabling every peripheral in the BIOS resolved the issue. The interrupts still seem a little high on my first GPU of the 5970 but the system seems stable at least! Hooray!

Plus it saves a few watts. Those IDE controllers, and USB 3.0 controllers, and onboard sound all pull some wasted wattage. |
