I have been testing BAMT for a while on my rigs and I am getting some odd behavior from some of them.
All the rigs are identical in that they all use the same motherboard, processor, power supplies, ram, flash drives and cards.
Problem #1
1 out of 9 of the rigs will not overclock any of the cards. All 4 Sapphire 5830's are at 246Mhps. There is nothing in the BAMT/live/control/active directory to clear.
Problem #2
1 out of the 9 rigs will not overclock any cards except for card 0. There is nothing in the BAMT/live/control/active directory to clear.
Problem #3
This has only happened twice and a quick reboot fixed it I just thought it was odd. Two different rigs began mining with 1 less card than was shown in the upper right corner of the desktop. Ie if 4 cards were detected by the OS it would only mine with 3 and didn't show the other in GPUmon etc.
Thanks for your help!
in order of probability.. you have a typo in one of your config files one or more of your cards is flaky or faulty the image is corrupt on one of your keys suggest carefully checking config and then swapping cards between machines where o/c is normal and where it is not normal |

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

So I have a couple machines mining with bamt, but on machine will not report mining stats to gpumon. The api ports, address and passwords match. Where should I look to see why its not reporting? Also is there a way in bamt.conf to set intensity for cgminer?
(trimmed config files)
So this seems to have been resolved by a reboot. But why did it happen? |

Is it possible to offer an .iso version? I have a problem with my motherboard that I explain here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=76294.0I can install and boot any Linux image via UnetBootin. I can use LinuxCoin but I would prefer to use BAMT. The problem with DiskImager is that the MBR get erased and UnetBootin does not remove it. I will send you my first 6 mined BTC if you can provide me with an iso version that install via Unetbootin. Thank's! |

Where did the mgpumon webpage go in .5c? The command line app works but the webpage doesn't exist.

No, bamt can monitor and send alerts but does not take actions based on temps. You could use an NMS to do things like that, since BAMT does provide data via several mechanisms, or you could script a tool to do that kind of thing pretty easily. |

I don't think there were any changes in mgpumon since 0.5a or perhaps even earlier. you will need to configure it or run it in web mode as always. |

I took the time to look at the compatilibilty page before buying the mobo. You can add this model to the not compatible list: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 Next time I will try to buy one from the compatibility list. |

I also disabled USB 3.0 and it doesn't work. The BIOS dont see the flash drive. It dont even see a normal FAT32 partition unless it is formated with HP USB storage format utility. I can install LinuxCoin with Unetbootin after the drive is formated with HP utility. |

If it's really an issue, cgminer has a temp cutoff option to disable a GPU at a given temperature. PM me or check the massive cgminer thread for usage. |

On both rigs under the settings: section in bamt.conf add this: settings:
do_bcast_status: 1
On your 2nd rig run mgpumon instead of gpumon. Modify your mgpumon.conf, make sure there is a 1 next to "screen" and "genhttp" in that file. Start mgpumon, at a prompt type: mgpumon /etc/bamt/mgpumon.conf go to your browser, type in: (yes, the / at the end is important) http://rig_ip_addr/mgpumon/
If this works for you, please donate at http://bamter.org/ to further development. |

Next time I will try to buy one from the compatibility list.
I have the exact same problem with the same board. I tried various USB drives, bios versions, none of them worked. I tried the regular ubuntu image, it did work. Like I assume you found, after some google searching I found references to gigabyte boards not working with certain bootable USB file setups and with multiple partitions. I got an RMA for my board today and packaged it up to be returned... |

I got owned by NCIX because this product can only be exchanged for the same... |

I was never able to get that board to work either. I it was a problem with the boot loader BAMT uses.. The gigabyte boars is just plain broken and I returned mine and got an Asrock
|
If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it. There was never anything there in the first place.

I've scribbled together this script (/etc/bamt/ftest2.sh):
!/bin/bash
FILE0="/live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE/noOCGPU0"
FILE1="/live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE/noOCGPU1"
FILE2="/live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE/noOCGPU2"
FILE3="/live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE/noOCGPU3"
LOGFILE=$"/etc/bamt/restartlog.log"
DATE=$(date +"%F")
TIME=$(date +"%T")
if [ -f $FILE0 ];
then
echo "File $FILE0 deleted. $DATE $TIME" >> $LOGFILE
rm $FILE0
/etc/init.d/mine restart
fi
wich works exactly as I would like it to work when I execute it manually.
However, I would like crontab to run the script every minute, but I just can't seem to get that to happen... I've looked through numerous pages exlpaining the problems with getting crontab to run bash scripts, but no luck so far. My crontab file looks like this:
...
#
# m h dom mon dow command
SHELL=/bin/bash
* * * * * /etc/bamt/ftest2.sh
Has anybody got an idea of how I can get crontab to accept my script?
Also, is there a way to only restart the specific GPU that has encountered a problem?
