You need to force aticonfig.

As stated in the guide, use sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all.  Not sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it.  There was never anything there in the first place.

Are you using a 64 bit distro or a 32 bit?

Also do an lspci -v and put the output on pastebin.  I am would like to see your config and if someone else also is having the same problem, the output of lspci -v as well.

I think I had that one too. I reinstalled Ubuntu, make sure you do not check the online update options. Just copy/paste the command strings one at a time and follow the guide precisely and it will work.

can you copy paste into the putty shell?  i typed all that stuff in by hand Smiley

sorry to keep asking noob linux questions, but you say ctrl-c to shut down the CPU, but how would i do that in SSH?  how do i point that at DEVICE=0?

Yes, you can paste into PuTTY.   I don't understand your second question, though?

If you are on the screen with the miner that is using the CPU, just use ctrl-c to kill the miner.  Or, if you haven't backgrounded the process (which you probably haven't) just killing the PuTTY session and opening another one should kill it.

That can't be all of the output for lspci -v.  I think it got cut off.  It's missing a bunch of information.  Specifically, none of your graphics cards are listed.

There is no way that's all you got.  You need to scroll up and get the rest of it.

You could also do lspci -v > output.txt and then copy the contents of output.txt to pastebin.

Is anyone else getting crashes with settings above aggression 6 or 7 on ubuntu or xubuntu?
I am runnning all my GPUs on aggression 6 because otherwise it is instable, FASTLOOP also makes it instable. The whole box crashes and becomes unresponsive, after minutes, sometimes a few hours of uptime.
I use sempron 140 cpus and 2 gigs of ram.
Yes, that seems to happen to me too.
I use Athlon X2 245.

are you by chance running linux from a flashdrive? I think this might be the reason

You screen buffer is too small, you need to increase it in PuTTY.  Don't ask me how to do that, because I don't use PuTTY (I use SecureCRT).

I set my buffer to 32000 lines of scrollback.

Does anyone know how to upgrade from SDK 2.1 to SDK 2.4?
Or install 2.4 in a separate location for testing purposes?
