GPU's not mining with BAMT command, but do with CGMINER

[btcnode]

Okay, so my situation is a bit complex. I run

Code:

/etc/init.d/mine start

and I get:

..munin..GPU 0 is disabled..GPU 1..fan 1..OC 1..GPU 2..fan 2..OC 2..cgminer...

which looks good! But when I run

Code:

gpumon

I get a lot of

   Temp    Fan% (rpm)    Load  Rate     Accept/Invalid   Status

So it looks like GPU's 2 and 3 (which are enabled) aren't doing anything. I've waited over 10 min watching this and waiting. So I dug around a bit and looked into the bamt.log file and here's the command that runs

Code:

May  6 11:45:50 kraken start_mining[9084]: starting cgminer with cmd: cd /opt/miners/cgminer;/usr/bin/screen -d -m -S cgminer /opt/miners/cgminer/cgminer --api-listen --api-port 4028 -o http://mymingpool.com:8332 -u myusername -p mypassword

so I figured, "hey, let me run the cgminer command myself and see what I get", so I run

Code:

/opt/miners/cgminer/cgminer --api-listen --api-port 4028 -o http://mymingpool.com:8332 -u myusername -p mypassword

and it runs and mines JUST fine, even using the first GPU (which I had disabled in my bamt.conf).

[P]ool management [G]PU management [Settings [D]isplay options [Q]uit
 GPU 0: 499.9/508.3Mh/s | A:2 R:0 HW:0 U:  4.75/m I: 5
 GPU 1: 211.3/210.4Mh/s | A:2 R:0 HW:0 U:  4.75/m I: 4
 GPU 2: 210.8/210.1Mh/s | A:2 R:0 HW:0 U:  4.75/m I: 4

So what's going on here? Why can't the bamt mine command get my GPU's to mine, but cgminer directly can.

Any help?

Post your bamt.conf - you say that you have GPU 0 disabled, but the gpumon output looks like GPU 0 is the only one enabled so my guess is a typo in the configuration file.

Turn those 1s to 0s so that they aren't disabled - unless I'm missing something?

I'm trying to get any card to work with the BAMT command. I just made the change you suggested and now the first card appears to be mining via gpumon, but not the others.

Same problem here... mmmm

[jbass350z]

I have a similar problem. Everything was mining fine then something froze up and upon reboot I get:

0 gpus configured

multiple reboots yield nothing.


screen -r actually shows some activity?? but gpumon shows no gpus whatsoever.

All GPUs are enabled in bamt.conf

How can i fix this? I can reload BAMT, but this is the second time this has happened in two days.
