BAMT version 0.5 - Easy USB based mining Linux with farm wide management tools

[jamesg]

Has anyone yet been able to get 8 gpus going in BAMT?

LittleDuke said he had 8 GPUs working on the 64-bit version.

Are there any examples, docs, etc of the remote config functionality?
Is there any technical reason this couldn't be extended to grab cgminer.conf as well as bamt.conf remotely?

That would be perfect for a PXE install.

YUP. 

I swear rjk, sometimes I think we might be brothers separated at birth.

Once I get this thing running, I should bring it over to you to do the water loop.

[DeathAndTaxes]

that is one beautiful monster but I think I am done with more watercooling.

Planning it and testing it is fun but you know what is NOT fun?  
Removing 24 stock heatsinks,
cleaning 24 cards,
applying 24 sets of thermal pads,
spreading 24 sets of TIM
attaching 24 waterblocks.

Hint: Once you do the first one, the other 23 aren't any less tedious or boring.

I got 8 down ... that means 16 to go.

Still if you ever decide to go insane, I would be happy to help you plan the loop.

Perhaps since all you 7000 series card users are crapping out $600 a card, you guys should come up with a bounty for someone, or even lodcrappo, to do a BAMT split with the newer SDK.

I donate to lodcrappo to get ANYTHING done in BAMT. Guess what..... it now has everything I need.

This is definitely a good strategy.

I am deffinatly down for donating!  Lodcrappo you game? Give me da info.

OK I have prepared an iso to make booting on gigabyte motherboards possible, see my post here:

http://www.bitcointrading.com/forum/index.php?topic=416.msg1149#msg1149

Booted my GigaByte at first try! Thank's! Now my motherboard can be listed as compatible.

I managed to overclock my 5870, 5830 and 5770 but the 5850 dont listen to me. It was working on Xubuntu with CGminer.

Here is the debug:

GPU is enabled, overclocking is enabled

OC command - profile 0: DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/local/bin/atitweak -P 0 -A 3 -e 300 -m 300 -v 1.125

LittleDuke said he had 8 GPUs working on the 64-bit version.

Is this 64-bit version publicly available? I've got a pair of quad 5970 rigs that I'd like to get on BAMT. I like the stat tracking in BAMT and I really don't want to have to roll my own Ubuntu iso.

[lodcrappo]

Required to make 79xx cards work in BAMT: 
A few hours of my time, and a 79xx card to do proper testing with.  I'll donate the time if the hardware is provided, this is my standard offer for most things. 
Cost to implement:  ~ 120 BTC (or a 7970).

Required to provide a 64 bit version that parallels the 32 bit version ("provide" meaning I have to create the initial image and then also test and release updates for it, which doubles the work I have to do now to support BAMT):  Several hours of my time initially to create and test a current 64bit image, then continued time to support it. 
Cost to implement initially:  100 BTC.  Cost to maintain will vary but should be about 20 BTC per month if new features and updates come out at typical intervals.

If you would like to donate towards these goals, just use the standard BAMT donation address:

1PoRYaGS56ksQmK7XXLurW3B2zwCAE8PRc

but be sure to PM me or somehow let me know what feature you desire so I can attribute it properly.

you can also request any other feature you can dream of, and I will give you a quote for the work.

BAMT "from the box" does not work with 6900 series? Sytem sees them ok, but BAMT - not. ((

If you are asking if 6900 series cards work for other people, the answer is yes they do.

Yes it does.

See how much useful information was in my post?  Just as much as yours.

lol my thoughts exactly..

Anyone succesfully OC a GigaByte 5850?  I tried to change my config file. Readed most of this thread and could not see a defenitive answers to the ADL_Overdrive5_ODPerformanceLevels_Set failed error code.

[pcexpress4less]

Off topic but does anyone know how to get mgpumon web interface to stop showing old miner names and stats?

you try restarting your main rig that displays mgpumon?

That fixed it thanks.

As mentioned multiple times in this thread, do not change profiles 0 and 1 unless you need to.



I am going to make this bigger and uglier every time.  Fair warning.

[01BTC10]

Yeah I don't want to waste your time but like I said I readed the thread and tried lots of different config.

gpu3:
  disabled: 0

  # core_speed_0: 300
  # core_speed_1: 600
  core_speed_2: 900
  # mem_speed_0: 300
  # mem_speed_1: 300
  mem_speed_2: 300
  # core_voltage_0: 1.125
  # core_voltage_1: 1.125
  # core_voltage_2: 1.125000

This is not working either. I tried also commenting mem_speed_2 and lower OC.
