have 7 cards only, if i add my 6870 that will make 8 card. But now got doubt that mixing cards may be problem.
so try with 3 5870 & 3 6970
Also, now got some suggestions/help from DiabloD3. Going to try that too.

Sorry SH, i was not well, so can't post/update.

I installed Ubuntu 10.4 & then got lite fever, so can't able to work due to body pain.

Now i switched on pc with all 7 cards & gone through steps given by Inaba.
Everything went smooth & after reboot & login to Ubuntu, i got White screen & system freeze.
Nothing worked, so restart.
But before restart i got doubt that its due to different cards in same pc.
5870 & 6970.
3 nos. of 5870 is connected to 1st PSU which also connected to mother board with 24 pin & CPU with 4 pin connector.
4 nos. of 6970 is connected to 2nd PSU & 2 nd PSU is switched on by connecting pin green & black (Power on & ground)

I didn't switch on 2nd PSU, switched on 1st PSU only & Ubuntu working fine & mining with 3 cards.

If some one have any idea, please share. I can't able to figure out where the problem is.

off topic.

by reading forum post found out a video of a guy doing pen trick, & in that page found a video which is hilarious.
Have fun.

OpenCL for windows don't allow more than 4 GPU's. That't the only problem i am going for Linux.
Coz i personally used windows for the past 12 -14 years & i know how to handle it , even though novice in programming.
But since mining refuses more than 4 GPU's i am forced to switch to Linux.

Also, i saw some saying for 100% CPU usage, have to send emails to AMD.
Sending emails to AMD won't work as it just returns to you.
But i found developer forum for AMD & especially OpenCL, where you can put your questions.
Check out these links.

I request all Bitcoin Windows & also Linux users to ask in AMD developer forum to make OpenCL supports more than 4 GPU's in Windows also.

Here is the link, i asked.

Go for last unread post. my user name is dishwara there also.
If the developer team put their eyes in OpenCL then Windows can mine with any number of GPU's

Tried sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --od-setclocks=993,900 & enter.
System just freezed.
Hard restart & after that Ubuntu loading starts & then white screen & nothing happening.
Can able to go in recovery mode, but it doesn't allow to run mining & also tried installing as in Inaba guide.
After all done it says it needs x server, run as root .....& giving password for my username when running with sudo, does everything, still same hanging.

Seems have to reinstal Ubuntu .

Many misunderstood me that i won't answer or reply if not my share holders.
My position for the past 10 days is to first satisfy current share holders by mining with 8 cards or at least maximum.
Then i think about other things.

If i goes about thinking how much i spend & balance sheet ...then i can't able to think about rig.
That's why i avoided questions about money spent. Soon after running the rig i will have enough time & i will post everything & also in spread sheet, as spread sheet is easier method to give amount received & amount spent....

Now i have no choice, since ubuntu 11.04 failed & very slow, i have in hand now debian 6.0.1 & archlinux-2010.05-core-x86_64.iso
I am going to try these 2, also downloading ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso
So, which ever works for me with guide from Inaba, i am going to mine on that.

I want to use any Linux which is good for mining.
Also, it must have support for other softwares also. Like temperature monitoring...
Actually i don't know how to say, coz i lived in windows very much , now everything is alien to me.

I try older version of Ubuntu.
I chose Ubuntu 11.04, coz for that version only Inaba wrote.
Don't know earlier version also support his guide.
Already very late & lost many coins by not mining. Don't want to waste time.


http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=16548.msg251292#msg251292

In this tvar said "Just put it in an executable file and run it, should spit out the temperature every 10 seconds."

how to put it in executable?
I create an empty text file & put code in it & give what extension?
How to make it executable & run auto?

Its very much needed for me as i want to monitor temperature of my cards.

After aticonfig --od-enable , i tried set clock & got this error.

Also, Ubuntu is very very slow. Mouse movement, opening files....takes lot of time. Its like working with 1 GB windows 7.
How to increase performance?
In windows i just go to advanced properties & disable visual effects i don't want.
But in ubuntu i am searching......can't able to find. Tried to change themes, which did no use.
Please if some Linux users their help to setup rig to have more speed as windows xp.

Or Ubuntu 11.04 is slow like Windows Vista?

11.36 coins in bitcoin client.

Thanks Inaba.

With his guide installed Ubuntu 11 & now mining with 3 cards.
But can't OC, have to read a lot.
Also soon add other 4 cards & hope to mine with 7 cards today itself.

-f flag is not equal to AGGRESSION.
If you put -f 120, you will see NO mining until main server down & then it starts & hash rate will be some 10-20 Mhash/s less only.

But if you try with AGGRESSION, that completely different.
AGGRESSION=6 will make a 5870 to mine at 230 Mhash/s
while AGGRESSION=12 will make to mine at 430 Mhash/s.


Using -f flag works only if you use poclbm & phoenix with phatk gives more hash than pcolbm. 

I too got that in console & asked. No one replied.
you have put xxxx, but i see square black boxes with 2 white dots as in below image.

Reduce memory clock to ~300+. I have many times happened crashing of not only phoenix, but other miners also.
If i OC without reducing mem clock first then system freezes.
So, i always under clock memory manually with Afterburner, as mem clk CANNOT be reduce automatically, up to 300 then i apply OC.
Even though in Afterburner i saved the OC as 993/331, it will OC only core clock but can't under clock memory.
Just under clock memory & everything work fine.

Thanks

I got notification from both Mtgox & Slush pool that Mtgox account hacked & compromised & password was taken, I tried to change deepbit password, which gave me this error after entering old & new password & clicked change password.

XXXXXXX
User_already_exists

It seems only option to change password is to use password recovery.
Also i am not sure that their is restriction to use how many characters or numbers totally for password. I tired with 18 characters can't able to change.
Don't know the reason.


EDIT:
Problem solved, but i never get recovery email from deepbit, checked spam folder also.

What if CIA simply threatened that Gavin MUST only say positive, if not .................... you fill yourself.

Its known to everyone that US will do anything to bring down anyone or anything if US don't like it.

Thanks for work around.

Please change title from "Windows users do NOT need the 2.4 SDK" to Windows users do NOT need to download AMD APP 2.4 SDK separately.
The title completely gives false belief that Windows users with 6000 series cards can mine without 2.4.
AMD APP 2.4 comes with catalyst 11.5/11.6 as said by Meatball & no need to download separately.

The file manager never opens & also if i triple click or do some clicks then it logs out automatically & asks user name & password.
There user & live works.
But root not.

I had same permission error & i searched this thread & i see more than 4-5 times asked , still root password is never given out.

user & its password live won't work with root .

What is the password for "root" user?

Who is trolling?
Why you called this thread troll thread?
