Your first error is that your using Phoenix flags to run a poclbm session. And your not getting an error with Phoenix ? Another terminal should pop up running the miner ?
if you are using option 1 poclbm
device=0
url=btcguild.com
username=ref_xxl
password=xxxxx
flags= -w128 -v
if your using phoenix
device=0
url=btcguild.com
username=ref_xxl
password=xxxxx
flags= BFI_INT VECTORS WORKSIZE=128
kernel=phatk
A separate window should pop up with the miner running. Hit enter on the first screen and start another session

Kernel options for phoenix are poclbm and phatk. If you are using phoenix then your flags will be VECTORS BFI_INT WORKSIZE=128. If you are using poclbm then you shouldn't be asked to provide a kernel.

i got it loaded on my USB im trying to use it with 2x 5850's if it works im going to try it on my 4x 5850's but im stuck i cant get it to accept anything for the kernel. for flags i used -v -w128 which i think is right.

Looking forward to some feed back guys.

hows the upload coming along? I'm looking forward to trying out the new version!
One thing, does it come with AMDOverdrive?
If I am not mistaken, the answer has already been given some pages back: yes. One thing, does it come with AMDOverdrive?

thanks but I did read the whole RBE manual and even went to the side tutorial that was linked in the manual (the link I posted earlier http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1739618&postcount=34 )
Ahh ok well let me just finish what I'm doing here and I'll take a look at what you have posted and see if i can help you out bud.
That guide you posted should modify your BIOS to lower the limits. Can you post the output of
Code:
aticonfig --odgc

Getting the memory down to 300 will give me about 20 Mhash/s extra per card, so yeah, would be great to being able to do that.

Lol I can see people are struggling with 0.1a. It's not really for people with no experience with Linux. It has all the tools nessecery for overclocking and to change the fan speeds etc buy of you are used to GUIs your going to struggle with this version and I suggest you wait for 0.2a because it has all the GUIs included and has been designed with the Linux newb in mind.
I'm very close to finishing now. I've had some troubles with power supplies on the computer where Linuxcoin is installed and my crazy ex girlfriend lol so it's been a liitle slow coming but it will be well worth the wait trust me

the reason I was asking if anyone knew how to get the memory downclocking to stick in radeon bios editor for the powercolor 5970 was because the aticonfig included did not allow me to set anything below 500, when I wanted to go to 300 for memory speed.

Is it easy to use linux to do mining with this distribution without having any great knowledge about linux? I have some VEEEEEEEEEERY basic experiencie. Is it worth to try?
I mean, its aall ready to go or I have to do something (anything) ?
Read every post in this topic, make sure to make a txt file of every piece of info/code you find and start.I mean, its aall ready to go or I have to do something (anything) ?
You will find trouble but also solutions in your txt file. I managed to get it working with help here, as you will read when you look at every post.
Good luck!

this probably isn't the appropriate place, but I didn't want to start a whole new thread, per suggestions I have started using the phatk kernal, but I've also tried some overclocking/underclocking on my 5970 using radeon bios editor, I can get the voltages to stick but for some reason I can not get the clock to come away from the default 750/1000... which I'd really like to do in bios (because windows won't let me go lower than 500 for ram) so that I can just boot and go in linux. I followed these instructions but the clock settings don't stick http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1739618&postcount=34
