12.8 was very stable for me.
May 27, 2013, 02:40:08 PM
The changes I make are putting in my wifi network password, run BAMT fixer and install updates, install AMD video drivers (tested 13.4 and 13.3 beta) to support 7800 video card and editing cgminer.conf to my settings. Is there an incompatibility with the newest drivers perhaps? I'm not sure why it would work for days on end but suddenly cease functionality when I make any changes. What other driver would be recommended for a 7800 series card in BAMT?

Okay maybe I'm not making myself clear. It is not the setting itself that is causing the crash, it is the act of changing ANYTHING no matter how benign. For example, I can set the GPU engine to a lower speed than what it's currently running on. If I restart Cgminer, it will not load. Changing the setting back to the original state does not help. If I restart the computer with the original setting, CGMiner will not load.
Like I said, I can get the system stable with a fresh installation. The system will run continuously as long as I don't make any changes to cgminer. But if I do, CGMiner becomes unusable - it refuses to load and nothing seems to fix this.
So upset it will become non-functional permanently? Maybe 3.1.1 will fix my problems.

FYI 3.1.0 gets upset if pools die.

It would be interesting to note your steps on your "build" you create from the base image. Maybe there is an update to a core file or dependency that while initially running, loads the new file on reboot causing your issue. Just a thought. (like running apt-get update or something like that) BAMT is touchy like that sometimes.

Except as I said a couple times, rebooting doesn't fix it. CGMiner does not work after reboot, no matter the settings. The only solution I've found is formatting and doing a new installation.
I am mining LTC but I am not running the cards hard at all. After I preform a fresh install and put my settings in, the system will run for days at a time with 0 HW errors at less than 70C. The problem arises if I make the slightest change to the system or if CGminer disconnects from the server for some reason. Basically anything that causes CGMiner to stop functioning. CGMiner will then hang at "starting" indefinitely. And as I've said, rebooting the system does not fix this.

Your settings cause the cards to crash. A reboot will not "fix" this. You need to edit the cgminer config back to a known state before rebooting. A "sync" after editing the file wouldn't hurt either.

3.1.0. Changes like thead-concurrency, gpu-voltage, gpu core/memory speed, powertune.. basically anything. I'm not even pushing the cards that hard but the pattern is it will run for a bit, then cgminer will crash. After that I will be unable to start cgminer again no matter what parameters. And as I said about, the only thing that fixes this is formatting and starting over. Also the webui stops working with the error " One of the BAMT tools has suffered a fatal error. Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /usr/lib/cgi-bin/status.pl line 88. "
sounds like you are mining ltc. sounds like the settings you are using are crashing the cards hard and only a reboot will fix things.

I have a problem in my BAMT system where I can get it running stable for long periods of time, but then if I make the slightest change to cgminer.conf and restart the miner the system will no longer function. That is, cgminer will just hang at "Starting Cgminer..". Restarting/shutdowning/reverting changes has no effect on this, the only solution I've found is to start a fresh installation. But then the problem just repeats itself. Has anyone experienced this?
what changes to cgminer are we talking about?
also, what version of cgminer?

I was told if you did not have something plugged into the GPU's VGA port the OS would idle it, so people put things like dummy plugs in the ports?
none of my BAMT rigs have anything plugged into GPU video ports

....is the anything I need to do to stop the GPU from idling, or does not idle automatically
Come again?

Altcoins are going to be around for a while, you still have a niche there 
The upside with this was that I would not have to deal with stripping down a linux box.
Also, I am familiar with Linux, is the anything I need to do to stop the GPU from idling, or does not idle automatically?

Is this project dead, the website bamter.com is down for me, did they move?
"Mostly dead" so it seems from a development standpoint. Other then reading the readme/examples, cruising this forum, and tinkering yourself, it's pretty much all there is. Posting questions here will most likely be answered by the 3 or 4 of us who still try to support it when time permits.
@mc_lovin is still hosing the various images on his site. (Links in post below) And some forum action.

With GPU mining days being numbered, I don't see it being resurrected anytime soon. Running ASICs is trivial from either Win/Linux + cgminer/bfgminer so there really isn't a need for a dedicated build like this project provided. It is what it is... Oh well, good times.

Has anybody else had issues with two BAMT rigs on the same network?
If I put two BAMT rigs (different hardware different IP's leased) only one of them will mine, If I place the other on a different subnet they both work fine?
thanks

hook up a monitor and see what's up with the network address?
