When BAMT boots up, do this before the mining starts:
>Ctrl+Alt+F1
>nano /etc/bamt/bamt.conf
>Edit the lines that are causing issues (i.e. Core is too high)
>Ctrl+X
>y
>Enter
>shutdown -r now

Upon restart, you will be mining with the new settings. Which in turn, will keep you from getting locked up.
(I'm new with BAMT, and always locking it up as well. Still tweaking settings to get everything right.)

Hope that helps

I'm not overclocking, using stock speeds. When I attach screen and keyboard, the box is still up and X is running. It's only the NIC that doesn't work anymore...

It doesn't work once you start mining, or doesn't work at all?
The latter is an OS problem, not a BAMT problem. BAMT is just Debian 6 Live with some scripts, look up drivers for your NIC.
The former is probably a lockup of some sort. Run

Code:

ps -A

and look for anything labeled defunct.

It stops after a while. Machine boots fine, BAMT works fine, until NIC fails...

Please post the results of

Code:

ps -A

. I'm sorry; I just can't help you without more information.

What do you see when you connect keyboard and monitor? All my rigs are unstable under BAMT because of something with the NIC... Can you post your hardware?

Ad astra.

Boot it, SSH in before the mining starts, run '/etc/init.d/mine stop'. Alternatively, disconnect it from the net and connect a monitor and keyboard. Then:

1. Edit /etc/bamt/bamt.conf to remove any OC, disable any cards not in your rig.
2. Edit /etc/bamt/pools to make sure you have correct pool configuration.
3. Run 'aticonfig --list-adapters'; make sure all of your cards are listed.
4. Run '/etc/init.d/mine start'.

Unless you have bad hardware or a really screwed up configuration file, that should fix the problem. If that doesn't do it, post the result of 'lspci | grep Radeon' along with your configuration file (/etc/bamt/bamt.conf).
