CryptoSLAX 0.3, download (316 MB)
screenshot
Features :
- only need minimal 512 MB USB FlashDisk
- can run with unplugged flash disk, since SLAX can copy itself to run from computer RAM
- built-in cgMiner-3.7.2 with support for GPU scrypt (ltc, doge & friends), scrypt:2048 (vertcoin), SHA256 (bitcoin), keccak(sha3:maxcoin)
- built-in yvg1900 protoshares cpu miner (all 64-bit variation of CPU)
- built-in jhPrimeMiner xpm cpu miner (all 64-bit variation of CPU)
- built-in clPts 0.2.2 (protoshare opencl miner)
- built-in vertcoin cpu miner from max.1gh.com
- built-in cgminer bitcoin miner (asic) 3.12.3
- built-in vnc-server, sshd, smbd (automatically run out-of-the-box)
- built-in AMD Catalyst 13.12 with ADL SDK 6.0 and AMD APP SDK 2.9
- minimal installation, only KDE desktop with text-editor, web-browser, and file-manager
How To Install :
- 1. Extract the content of .7z to formatted flash disk with FAT32 Partition
- 2. Run [FLASHDISK]\slax\boot\bootinst.bat (on linux run bootinst.sh)
- 3. Boot from it (make sure persistence changes is checked for first boot)
- *. if needed, root password is toor
Changes :
- updated AMD Catalyst to 13.12 , APP SDK 2.9, and AMD ADL 6.0
- custom re-compiled x86_64 kernel to support AMD IOMMU
- automatically detect AMD GPUs on first boot, and set x.org.conf
- auto run VNC-server for display 0 on port 5901 on KDE login (warning : no-password!)
- auto run SMB-server on boot (warning : no-password! , root access!)
- auto sync local time with ntp server on boot
- fully working KDE desktop, now dbus is working (you can copy-paste now, lol!)
- clean-up using .sb, rootcopy folder now only has miner config files
- now i call it CryptoSlax since slax-cryptominer is too long
- added KDE mainmenu items to launch miner or edit miner config files
- on launching miner, it will create screen session before run the miner, so you can access it from ssh remotely

How to add to it the SHA3?
SHA3 will be supported on build 0.3, including SHA256, SHA3 (keccak), scrypt, scrypt2048 (vertcoin)
Slax will not boot.My motherboard that use a 64 bit processor and use
IOMMU in order to find those USB devices. Since the default SLAX 3.8.2
kernel doesnt include AMD IOMMU and doesnt have HID built in (it has
modules), some motherboards are not able to use USB keyboards at all
with their usb 2.0 ports.How can I fix this?

i recompiled the default slax 7.0.8 kernel to support AMD IOMMU on build 0.3, it is tested working on motherboard Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, will be uploaded soon
uray, thanks for the builds. Working well on 2 new rigs here. Appreciate the efforts.

thank you for the tip, i will continue to improve it !
Hello. I will use your distro during the week but is compatible with the new AMD graphics cards R9?
If not, I will be able to install the new drivers right?
If not, I will be able to install the new drivers right?
it will be supported on build 0.3 using amd driver 13.12, uploading currently its still in beta though
Is cgminer patched for scrypt jane mining in this distro ?
thanks for the work, cheers
thanks for the work, cheers
I doubt it. If there is an easy way to check though, let me know and I can look at one of mine.

Hello,
my cgminer/bfgminer can't detect any gpu.
When i run aticonfig --odgt it's can show my GPU and also show the temperature.
when i run ./cgminer -n nothing error, gpu and opencl showing perfectly.
How to solve this problem ??
And also, how i can make a persisten change for cgminer, so when it reboot i don't have to add pool again.
Thank's

I wish I could help, but I've never seen cgminer not recognize a card after seeing it with the -n argument.
Regarding persistent changes, that is a default boot option. You do not have to do anything. I'm guessing the problem is that you are creating your startup scripts or configs in the /opt/cgminer/ directory? If so, that directory gets overwritten at boot. You either have to add the files offline (/slax/rootcopy/opt/cgminer/), or save them elsewhere. I just create scripts in /root/ (which is persistent) using command line arguments to start cgminer.

The "catalyst" module is in the first version. The "experimental" module is in the latest version. I guess you could try the "legacy" (13.1) module.
Going around in linux forums I realized that is a bad combination of SDK + Driver version for series 5xxx 
Try both versions of the distro? Considering that one is using 13.4 and the other is using 13.8, I would think one of them might work!

Have done infinite number of times:
OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP 1214.3
Always All the GPU has the "harware monitoring enabled" and always all seems ok!
Weird. I've yet to see cgminer not display temps when hardware monitoring is enabled. Have you tried running without any settings beyond pool?
I believe the first version he released was 13.4 driver version, so maybe see if that one works?
Sorry, don't know what else it could be.
I tried these changes but unfortunately my mini rig 2x5970 1x5850 has always a big lag and the cgminer on the terminal windows can't display the stats. I've tried running the "screen" command but nothing... the GPU's runs but I cannot say how it runs, and logging the process with 2>logfile.txt seems to be ok...
The Intesity is 18 on all GPU.
I suppose it's a bad driver + SDK combination for me.
However a PC with only 7850 works flawlessly.
Anyway Thank you

I assume you are experience the lag on a local terminal window? If you start your miner in the background with the screen command, you can then SSH over to watch without the lag.
Ohhh good solution, logged with putty and yes I finally see the cgminer stats but without hardware monitor (GPU temperature and FAN velocity) and with a lot of Hardware Errors from all the GPUs and the Hashrate is less then my cgminer in Windows.
Stop the miner and run the following...
export DISPLAY=:0
/opt/cgminer/cgminer -n
What are your results?

Please help.My fan CPU is spinning at high speed.I want to install lm sensors.But the steps used in ubuntu does not work.
Check your BIOS. Many motherboards come with fan set to full speed, and you can change it to auto instead.
