    I have an M4A89GTD mobo and two AMD Sapphire 5830s.

    aticonfig --list-adapters
    * 0. 01:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series 
      1. 02:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series 


    aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature
    Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series 
                Sensor 0: Temperature - 37.00 C
    aticonfig --adapter=1 --od-gettemperature
    ERROR - Get temperature failed for Adapter 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series

    I switched the slots for the 5830s and get the same thing. I The drivers don't seem to be working. I've re-installed Ubuntu a couple times and get the same error.

    hey guys.. need some advice.  I am running my rig headless on ubuntu. I have three miners running in a separate screen session (one for each GPU).  Sometimes a miner will hang up for nefarious reasons. I can still SSH into the machine, and work and the other 2 miners will run as normal.  BUT... if I try to do a kill -15 or even a kill -9 on the PID of the froze miner, the entire system will hang and I cant do anything.  Even if I plug a monitor and keyboard back up it will still be froze.
    The same thing happens if I try to reboot the machine from CLI when a mining script is hung.  Whats the best way to unstick this froze process without killing the entire system?
    Is there a way to detach the particular module for the hung GPU from the kernel without killing the system?

    Try

    DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get temperature 0"
    If that works you can save this as a script to get lots of info:
    Code:

    I have the same problem and hasn't been able to find a way around it.  I have to end up rebooting the system.  Occasionally, if the shell won't even respond I have to pull the power.  Usually, though, if I do a reboot, it will eventually reboot.

    Nakowa & CBeast:

    Are you guys sure you've done sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all ?  The errors you describe are usually related to the cards not being listed in the xorg.conf file.

    You might try doing that again and reboot and see if it fixes your problem.

    I started over with a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 x64
    at line 22 I get
    ./configure.py --cl-inc-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/include/ --cl-lib-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64
    bash: ./configure.py: No such file or directory

    wow, somehow I missed the CD step before.

    When i start mining, after 10 sec i get this msg:

    Quote
    Verification failed, check hardware!

    Don't know why is that. I can mine in W7 without any problems.
    The VGA's are not overclocked.

     Huh

    The guide works great for me. However, when I try to add a 5970 to my motherboard, X will never start.

    I just get a blank screen that is on, but nothing there. I usually get a cursor on the screen, but it's nowhere to be found.

    Any ideas?

    This is an overclocking issue for me.  The reason why it's not responsive when you switched back to the screen is because the card crashed.  I use this method to test how high I can OC.  If one freezes I just roll it back 25 MHz.

    I have exactly the same problem.

    I am using Ubuntu 11.04 (had the same problem with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), phoenix with phatk, two 5870's. It happens more when I overclocked it more (temperature always under 70).

    I have only one 6990 card on board, but when I use aticonfig --list-adapters, I got:

    * 0. 08:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 6990
       1. 07:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 6990

    and I run the miner:
    ./poclbm -u ** --pass ** -o ***... -d 0

    this miner give me about 330 mH/s rate
    but when I try to launch another miner, using device 1, I got error:

    pyopencl.LogicError: clGetPlatformIDs failed: invalid/unknown error code

    any suggestions? thanks.



    You got the wrong syntax for sure.   For example, this is what deepbit uses.  (I would double check the device syntax, could be --Device or -Device.)

    poclbm.exe -d1 --host=pit.deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=example@example.com --pass=password -DEVICE 0
    poclbm.exe -d1 --host=pit.deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=example@example.com --pass=password -DEVICE 1

    Will this USB STICK will be okay for installing ubuntu and mine??

    Or can i buy cheaper like http://www.amazon.de/Transcend-JetFlash-600-Speicherstick-Retail/dp/B002QCAN9S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1307621420&sr=8-1

    Any USB stick will probably work... it just depends on how slow you want it to be.  The Rage XT ones I use are pretty speedy at 25 MB/s write, though it's definitely noticeably slower than an HD of course.  Some sticks are so slow I wouldn't use them, but I can't say for sure which sticks those would be.  I found the Rage XT to work fast enough for me, so I stick with them.
