hows the upload coming along? I'm looking forward to trying out the new version!


One thing, does it come with AMDOverdrive?

If I am not mistaken, the answer has already been given some pages back: yes.

[drgr33n]

Yep AMDOverdrive gui is included. Link is now live Looking forward to some feed back guys.

i got it loaded on my USB im trying to use it with 2x 5850's if it works im going to try it on my 4x 5850's but im stuck i cant get it to accept anything for the kernel. for flags i used -v -w128 which i think is right.

[drgr33n]

Kernel options for phoenix are poclbm and phatk. If you are using phoenix then your flags will be VECTORS BFI_INT WORKSIZE=128. If you are using poclbm then you shouldn't be asked to provide a kernel.

Your first error is that your using Phoenix flags to run a poclbm session. And your not getting an error with Phoenix ? Another terminal should pop up running the miner ?

if you are using option 1 poclbm

device=0
url=btcguild.com
username=ref_xxl
password=xxxxx
flags= -w128 -v

if your using phoenix

device=0
url=btcguild.com
username=ref_xxl
password=xxxxx
flags= BFI_INT VECTORS WORKSIZE=128
kernel=phatk

A separate window should pop up with the miner running. Hit enter on the first screen and start another session

[REF]

it pops up for not even a second and then closes

okay i tried what you said.

Phew you had me worried then I thought I'd uploaded the wrong

Sheesh people. Pause your downloads for a minute so I can finish these and link you to the ISO on a 100 MB pipe.

Link coming in 2 hours? 5 minutes if you give me some bandwidth!

EDIT:

http://fastspeedtest.net/mirrors/linuxcoin/

I've got the md5 uploaded

I'll toss the iso in there when it's done. Feel free to link on the main page when the iso is inside.

Muchas Gratias Senor !! I'll add the link to the main post.

No need bud. The USB version was just the CD version with a 512MB casper-rw partition included. It didn't work lol so thought peops would just use the later method of using two partitions.

It worked the very first time I booted but never since (not using persistant at the moment)

I also tried to do it manually by

cd /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64
tar xvfz icd-registration.tgz -C /

but that still gives the same opencl kernal error

does /etc/opencl exist ? And you say it worked the first time ? If so it should work again as without persistence its a fresh filesystem every reboot.

Is there a way to use this on a USB pendrive using "Universal USB Installe" like in Ubuntu iso? (from windows).

[drgr33n]

Yes check out unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

[gusti]

Yes check out unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Now, same ISO for CD and USB ?

[drgr33n]

Yes same ISO for both now. Like I said unetbootin's method of persistence failed or it was me ? Either way it didn't work so now you need to create persistence space after you've installed linuxcoin.

Check out this link for instructions on how to create a persistent install of linuxcoin.

0.2a has non-working SSH. SSH is missing the Host keys in /etc/ssh/. They can be generated manually, but even when booted in persistent mode they don't get saved after a reboot. Is there anyway to save the SSH host keys across boots? (I have not worked much with live systems with persistence).

It would also be nice for it to save that the license has been accepted so that I would not need to have a monitor pluged in when I boot it, and can just start mining over the network through SSH and screen.
