Please pastebin your bamt.conf
Before I dump the whole thing... other than enabling the two GPUs that need to mine and editing pools is there anything else that is necessary to get started?
Nothing else is required. This is why we are asking you to post the config so we can see if you are doing this part correctly.

I have never tried my network without a passwd and i dont want to! The thing is, i have seen a solution to this problem somewhere else but i cant find it now!
check the box next to 'save this password for all users' or some similar thing.

I've been trying to get BAMT working for the past couple of hours without success. About a year and a half ago I had set up my own mining farm and scripts to generate webpages. Now I'm moving some miners to a new location and figured that BAMT should be the easy way to go. Wrong! Someone please point out the obvious as I'm pulling my hair out.
First and foremost, no matter what I do I cannot get BAMT to think my two 5830's are configured. I've tried disabled=0 of course, and fiddled with the overclock settings, and tried pre_oc_cmd. Pools are set up exactly as they ought to be for Phoenix in /etc/bamt/pools. I've tweaked things here and there but:
I've checked the /live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE/ directory; it is empty.
After doing this for a while I decided to test the remote capabilities. When I log in via SSH and try various aticonfig commands, I get:
startx:
Edit: Solved aticonfig errors both with export DISPLAY=:0.
GAH! And regardless, it still won't mine.
Again, someone PLEASE tell me I'm missing something obvious here. Been reading through the full /opt/bamt/examples/bamt.conf ... no clue. At this point I'm feeling that I could have installed Ubuntu and drivers from scratch and still been ahead time-wise.

Pools are set up exactly as they ought to be for Phoenix in /etc/bamt/pools. I've tweaked things here and there but:
- Cards display on the desktop as not configured (mother -v does not change this)
- Cards do not overclock as set
- pre_oc_cmd does not run
- Fan speed does not change to 100%
- Cards do not mine
- Various status pages (web/gpumon/etc) show nothing

Code:
ERROR - X needs to be running to perform ATI Overdrive(TM) commands

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
Edit: Solved aticonfig errors both with export DISPLAY=:0.

BAMT will not work out for everyone. My advice is to spend no more than 15 minutes screwing around with it, and if you're not mining, move on to something else.
If you'd really like to try and make it work, please post your config to pastebin or somewhere.

I don't believe mt.red is what most people would call a very stable pool. Try mining at ozcoin.
Yeah , but with Cgminer I managed to mine there pretty steadily...
Why would Cgminer work and Phoenix not?
That would be a question for mt. red. I've been able to use phoenix for just about every pool I've mined at.

Supposedly if you get the BAMT 0.6 beta, you can manually build BFGMiner 2.9 for it.
where to get BAMT 0.6 beta?TIA

Seeing as BAMT uses cgminer, i guess cgminer is update able, so will BAMT work with ASICs that run on cgminer?
thanks
Yes, BAMT 0.5 can be updated to use the cgminer git repo. There are some steps to take. Easy to do when you follow the instructions in the forums. thanks

Please pastebin your bamt.conf
Before I dump the whole thing... other than enabling the two GPUs that need to mine and editing pools is there anything else that is necessary to get started? To make things as simple as possible, I started editing less and less, so it seems that changing the disabled value to 0 is all I did in the end.
bamt.conf is YAML. Indentation and spacing is relevant.
At a minimum:
1 - set disabled to 0 for the gpus you want to use.
2 - edit the pools file with your mining credentials
Don't use tabs in bamt.conf
Don't change the spacing in the indents
Check, check. Did that, used the built-in menus links to edit, didn't change spacing, set pools exactly as shown. Restart mining, no results. Tried this on three different machines, all dual 5830's, same MB. I did get it working with cgminer after setting cgminer: 1 and cgminer_opts, but it's not optimal since it doesn't monitor the miners for me.
again.. pastebin your bamt.conf and pools files with your login and pass obfuscated and someone may be able to help you.

if you delete the * mark you also need to remove the spaces so its in line where the * mark was for it to work right i was getting mad one day about that and couldnt figure it out.

Is anybody using BAMT to mine on Mt.Red pool?
My miners keep switching to the next pool as if it wasn't getting work fast enough from Mt.Red.
Had similar problem while mining for Hashpower, but there I couldn't mine at all with Phoenix (would only work by enabling Cgminer).
Why can't I use my BAMT-Phoenix to mine on these 2 pools?

just a quick ? does the miner in bamt work on Stratum mining pools or do i need to upgrade it and if so is there an easy way lol. sorry if this ? has already been answered.
