sorry guys, Does it solve the well known problem with the double GPU of the ATI 5970?

And is there a guide on how to install LinuxCoin on Ubuntu 11.04?

Thanks

hi,

you can't install linuxcoin on ubuntu since they are both operating systems.
Sorry I can't help with the first question.

so, I choose the boot device (USB) in the bios config and run it after having put the .iso file on a USB drive??

Thanks

It should run the 5970, friend of mine got a 5970 and a 5870 running on it, on the same mobo.
Are you sure this is not a motherboard issue for you?

Been getting a lot of messages regarding several issues with 0.2a. Please wait for 0.2b because any issues in the last version will be working in this one.

Overnight testing on a 5870 went excellent !! No drop outs temp sitting at 70C with clocks at 990/300. 11.6 is working properly now and its looking very good !! in about 7 hours I got around 3700 shares and only 4 stale !! And that's running from a 3G dongle !!

Just got to tidy up the menu and look at a couple of little graphical issues and will be ready to upload !

what am I doing wrong? do i need to unlock shaders via windows first?

aticonfig --odsc=990,300

aticonfig -odcc
Clocks persisted for the Default Adapter - AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series

It won't let me go below 775 for 900, and I can't go over 900 at all on the card. How do?

You are setting Overdrive to enable first right ?

Code:

aticonfig --od-enable 

I've tested and tested again and this does work in this version ?

You can use the same guide as windows but just using your Ubuntu build if you like. And my friens is running a 5970 with great results,

Thanks for the bandwidth guys !! If I get plenty of donations I will send some your way

OK, this linux noob got the 0.2.1b .iso to install in persistent mode from a USB 16gb stick and it looks good! Launched Bitcoin client and it is downloading blocks.

Can some (patient) person take the time to post the CLI commands necessary to start basic mining with two HD 5830s?

[Folax]

Type, in a root terminal:

Code:

cd /opt/miners/phoenix

Code:

python phoenix.py -u http://username:pass@minersite.com:8339/ -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=7 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=0 FASTLOOP=false

New root terminal

Code:

cd /opt/miners/phoenix

Code:

python phoenix.py -u http://username:pass@minersite.com:8339/ -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=7 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=1 FASTLOOP=false

Now start 'upgrading' the aggression level until you see one of the miners hashrates get instable.
I like one miner at aggression=11 and the other at 9 for most stable results.

Then start AMDoverclocktool to up the GPU and down the MEM speed of GPU0, start a new version for GPU1 (has to be from root terminal: AMDOverdriveCtrl i=3 ) and do the same until you are satisfied with the hashrates.

Thanks! Will the phoenix command get both 5830s mining?

[EnzoMatrix]

I seem to be getting the OpenCL error

01/07/2011 14:07:16] FATAL kernel error: Failed to load OpenCL kernel!

and I have done the ATI licence think from the System Tool menu

any suggestions ? this is on the latest 2b version

[EnzoMatrix]

nevermind .. apparently you need to be root or you need to run

chmod 755 /opt/miners

--Enzo

Read my post again:
first line is to start device=0
second line is to start device=1

You need to start every GPU seperately, you do this by telling Phoenix what device to use.

Sorry, I see see the reference to DEVICE=0, but nothing for DEVICE=1.

+1 except try WORKSIZE=256 if your mem clocks are > 600

[Folax]

I hope his mem clock is <400 

[bluefirecorp]

Just inboxed you bud

Everyone who wants to use the PXE stuff all scripts are in /opt/PXE. Your going to need at least 1.5GB of persistence to roll with it. And make sure you cram as much ram as possible into your nodes.

Only run the install once !! The scripts are very quick and very dirty See the first post for more info.

EDIT: ISO is live !!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!

~bluefirecorp

[TripHammer]

Why does the clock need to be <400? (sorry still new to the over/under clocking game )

[Folax]

Mem is not needed really for mining, but it will take power and cause heat, so you want it as low as possible while not throttling your hashrate.

If possible, set MEM to 300-350 (335 is a good starting point) and GPU as high as it stays stable.
