So finally had time to get my mining rig fixed up (mobo fried, RMAed it, been busy with work and such) and I've got this kind of working.... weird issue going on though.
I get through bios/can select what to boot into through the BAMT screen, then it does it's loading stuff.... and then no more monitor! None of the graphics cards (5 5830s) display anything if I plug them in. I am able to SSH into the machine just fine.
If I do 'screen -ls' I get:
root@miner:/# screen -ls
No Sockets found in /var/run/screen/S-root.
I'm guessing that has the no screen sockets or w/e is the same reason I can't get anything locally on that machine.
Also did 'aticonfig --list-adapters':
root@miner:/# aticonfig --list-adapters
* 0. 0c:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
1. 0b:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
2. 06:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
3. 05:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
4. 04:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
* - Default adapter
And since I'm about to go to sleep and want to post as much info as I can.... here's my bamt.conf:
# Big A Miner Thing configuration
# /etc/bamt/bamt.conf
#
# You may be seeing this because you just booted up a new
# BAMT system. To start mining:
#
# 1. Adjust values in this file to your liking
# 2. Save
# 3. Add your pool URL(s) to the file specified per GPU
# (if you click File, Open, the default 'pools' file should be right there)
# 4. Either open root shell and type '/etc/init.d/mine restart', or power off a$
#
# From then on, this rig will auto mine at power on, no need
# to touch it again.
#
# To make this file quit opening every time you boot up,
# remove the line 'show_config_at_boot: 1' below.
#
# Note: This is a YAML file. Indentation is significant.

Edit:
Just remembered that I should probably say what happens when I do /etc/init.d/mine restart. It goes to:
root@miner:/etc/bamt# /etc/init.d/mine restart
Stopping mining processes...: mine.
Starting mining processes...: mine
It will just sit there, I let it go for a minute or two before doing ctrl-c to kill it.
Thanks in advance!
Edit #2:
A little more info on what I did when I first set it up....
I followed the procedure you listed for setting up the auto fixer and everything seemed to work fine, except for fix #4. That one tries to restart the miner and the same thing happens with that one that does when I try to restart the miner. So I end up having to ctrl-c fix 4 and it says 'failed'. Not sure if that matters, but like I said above I want to leave a lot of info.
