Topic: [OS] rxOC easy-to-use Linux AMD Mining v_stopgap - page 13. (Read 31370 times)

I am planning on updating rxOC with a new version this week.  First I am updating the 1bash for nvOC with all the requested coin changes / then I will update and release a new rxOC version.   

Doing it this way is faster in the long run.

fullzero, thank you for your NvOc and RxOc. Can you please update the RxOc? I want to change SimpleMining to something better, flexible configuration, but RxOc is didn't updated so long time and I don't know if you stop working on this.

First I would try setting:

and seeing if that is what is causing the problem.

Ensure your fan speed is set high enough to keep your GPUs cool:

I would try 200



It also looks like there are some disk errors occurring: if disabling the overdrive and increasing the fan speed doesn't solve the problem: I would reimage the USB or use another USB.

Let me know how it goes.

Need help guys. My rig keeps crashing and I don't know why. Running rxoc v0012

mobo is biostar tb250-btc
gpu 1 is a sapphire 580 4gb nitro+
gpu 2 is a xfx 480 4gb (with the stupid white leds)

If I run both gpus with unchanged clocks on onebash, I get pcie bus errors and it fills up the USB. I know it's not the risers because I tested them individually (after receiving replacements from the seller) on both gpus using smOS and rxoc individually and got no pcie errors.

I'm mining ZEC and it doesn't matter if I use optiminer or claymore, eventually the system hangs due to some error. I checked the error logs and this is a snippet of what I find

from the xorg.0.log: [  2402.679] (WW) AMDGPU(0): amdgpu_dri2_flip_event_handler: Pageflip completion event has impossible msc 143245 < target_msc 143246   (a crapload of these)

from the syslog.log:            only the 580 gpu running:

What's going on? bad gpus? bad mobo? risers have been swapped out already 2 times. I am a total Linux noob by the way.









 

I will implement all the transferable changes from nvOC to rxOC.  Some of them are Nvidia api dependent and might not have an AMD version and thus are not transferable.



Newer versions of *nix don't like mixing nvidia and amd.  I have gotten them to work together on specific rigs and in console mode (they don't like X together); but the methods I used are in no way portable.  Also only Claymore Ethash client seems to support AMD and Nvidia on the same rig; so there is little incentive to merge them.  This is as QuintLeo has said before; something Windows does better.

Mixing AMD and NVidia in LINUX is at best a royal PITA, and often just flat out doesn't work.

 I spent about 3 WEEKS trying different things to get the AMD 15.12 drivers and a reasonably current NVidia driver working on one of my A10-7860K based rigs, never did get it all working so finally gave up on the idea.

 That's WHY I'm currently working on shifting cards around as I can, to get them away from mixed-GPU so I can drop Windows in favor of much-more-reliable LINUX for my dedicated mining rigs - it USED to work, but doesn't seem to do so any more on recent driver versions.

Ok this won't work lol. xORG issues all over the place...
Back to Windows for mixed rigs...

Yeah I guess there must a good reason why Fullzero hasn't already done it lol..

I am changing my idea some right now. Burning the NV version and then adding the AMD drivers. That way I get all the new features

fullzero wrote that there are some issues with X11 configuration mixing the drivers. I guess it is ok in manual mode for particular installation/rig, but a bit harder to make it for any configuration of rig.

So I have been watching all the cool stuff going into the Nvidia build and wondering why the AMD build is getting no love when it occurred to me....Why not make ONE build for both?
Wouldn't it work to just have AMD AND Nvidia drivers in one build?

I am currently building a new mixed rig with 4 AMD and 1 Nvidia and plan on using rxOC build 12 and adding the NV drivers manually and then just run a second screen.
Thats sort of where this idea of a single build came into play..

Some sort of switch like IF GPU=NVIDIA THEN (DO SOMETHING HERE LIKE USE NVIDIA DRIVERS) ELSE (USE AMD STUFF HERE)

Just thinking out loud...

I will make a switch like this:

You probably want manual fans; so I will exclude that.

@Fullzero

Version 0013

Can you make a global switch to turn off all overclocking?

OVERCLOCK="OFF"

This will allow a single onebash to work on rigs that have all cards fully modded and have mixed R9 with RX.

Currently I just did this.... Get some errors but it works...

# select level: to see supported clocks scroll to the top of the mining process
#  __CORE_OVERCLOCK_LEVEL=7  # for ETH use lowest without decreasing the hashrate / Highest for ZEC
#  MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_LEVEL=1   # use highest level

Unless I am missing something if the cards are modded with timings, undervolted and clock speeds then rocm-smi is unnecessary. (right???) (except maybe for fans)

Just an idea for more flexibility....

Excellent!

I found the problem. Changed BIOS settings from "GEN1" to "AUTO"

Is your monitor plugged into GPU0?

Have you modded your bios of GPU0 the same as the other cards?

Can you try another MoBo?

I am running 40 cards total on this version and modded all cards with timings, undervolt and clock speeds and I don't have that issue at all.

All my AMD rigs GPU0 performs the same as other GPU's that are alike.

Why does GPU0 have much less performance than others?
I tried from 2 to 6 cards 470 and 580
On the cards nVidia there is no such thing, everyone works the same performance.

Thank you ! You gave me a real envy to test your distro with your answer! I hope it will help me, and if I succeed... will pm you to ask your address as a thank you.

thanks again ! and I wish you a lot of success with your software!

edit: would be nice to have a torrent link to download it

If I remember correctly; Wolf has made special tools for that: and offers some kind of modification service.

It seems like no one has succeeded with that because no one posted a success story
I am ok to use Polaris BIOS Editor, or do manual hex patching. No matter what I was not able to fix the issue with high power consumption under linux with rx470 and asked for anyone who WAS able to do that to share how.

There is something wrong with your usb image it if is not recognized when connecting to a USB 2.0 port.  USB 3 and 3.1 are fully compatible with 2.0. 

There may be a TPM or secureboot option in the bios that is causing problems.

I am assuming you are connecting the monitor to the GPU, and not the motherboard (if you connect a monitor directly to the motherboard; rxOC will go into an infinite loop).
