I spend roughly 2 days now trying to get 8x rx580 running with rxoc. I have another rig with 8x 1060 and nvoc running. Hardware i use:
Asus prime z270a
Hp dps1200 with breakout board
160w pico psu
8gb ddr4 ram hynix
Celeron 3900
When i use 1-2 cards in the main 16x pcie slots they boot fine. But a 3rd sometimes doesnt come up (using the 3rd big pcie slot) and on 4th card sometimes screen freezes up on boot or i get strange pcie error output in terminal (using the 1x speed slot on the top / nearest to cpu)
Bios settings i did the same as the other rig i am using sith same asus board. On this video you can see wich settings: https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=%23&ved=0ahUKEwi6oY6Er9XYAhVOZVAKHadWCukQwqsBCB8wAA&usg=AOvVaw0VTJzWxrN8ZFOD4xbU2nov
Double checked the settings. I switched mainboard, psu, riser, usb cables, cards, hdd. I tried every card on its own as single card setup, they all boot up fine.
With one power cable 6pin pcie i power riser 6pin pcie and psu 8pin pcie by y-cable. I get power for the ssd from the pico psu wich gets power from an own pcie port of the dps1200.
The cards have a bios switch. I tried both modes without success.
I really hope someone has an idea because i am lost.

Just colors, no words or anything readable. I didn't try to ssh into it, I guess I could try to get the ip from my router and try to ssh in.
I just get a bunch of lines on the screen.
lines of words/characters or lines of points?
Are you able to ssh into?
So after disabling my internal video card, and plugging into the first gpu, I just get a bunch of lines on the screen. I let it sit like this for about 10 minutes and nothing changed...
I normally have my monitor plugged into the build in video card on the motherboard.
I was not able to get it to work with my internal video card. I disabled it and connected only the first amd card.
Sometimes it takes around a minute with different black screens after xorg starts up.
Has anyone already tried to update the drivers on the image to current one?
I have the RX 580. It is not listed on the driver list for some reason.....
Maybe we need a newer driver?

I am using the image together with a RX 580. It works.
I just had a thought.
I normally have my monitor plugged into the build in video card on the motherboard. For this I have tried it plugged into the video card, and into the motherboard. However I wonder if there are any settings I need specifically in my bios?
On the front page, it just says
But I wonder if the onboard video should be disabled or something...
I will try playing around with it more tomorrow.

If you are using an MSI Z270-A PRO; ensure you enable Above 4G memory option in the bios before connecting the nvOC USB.

The older fglrx drivers can't be used on Ubuntu past 14.04 due to changes in the kernel that the drivers don't work with - and even 14.04 was a nightmare after Canonical "updated the kernel" to a version that did NOT support them (this can be reverted via apt, but it's a PITA and Canonical caught a LOT of flack for changing the kernal version and BREAKING a lot of stuff without changing the RELEASE version).
As I recall, AMDGPU-PRO drivers don't support anything older than the Polaris (RX-series) cards.
One of my MANY ISSUES with AMD the last couple years has been their FUBAR older-card support on their more recent drivers - especially for stuff like the A10 iGPUs that even under WINDOWS have very iffy support since 15.12 despite still being current production at the time.
LINUX has been MUCH worse - one of the reasons I've moved AWAY from Team Red since 2015 has been the total GARBAGE that AMDGPU-PRO has turned out to be.

OK, but AMDGPU-PRO drivers can't be replaced with compatible one?

To all who have problems to login: Are you sure that your card is suported by amdgpu-pro? Check https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-GPU-PRO-Linux-Beta-Driver%E2%80%93Release-Notes.aspx for this.
@fullzero: Thanks for this nice image. I just installed it (570/580) and it worked like a charm.
Any updates planned?
1. I can't login, after correct credentials and enter, it is going back to the login screen
2. can't start miner through terminal too

This image uses the amdgpu-pro driver. It seems that your card is not supported by it. Check yourself: https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-GPU-PRO-Linux-Beta-Driver%E2%80%93Release-Notes.aspx
Is it possible to reduce the size of the image? I have 3 different types of 16GB USBs (a lot of them) and they are all smaller than 15.6GB
There are 1.8GB free space at the end. So I guess you just can put the image to the smaller stick. Image itself only needs 13G.
I am also stuck at the login screen loop.
sudo dpkg --configure -a didn't help. Any other ideas?

seems like many of us are stucked here.... but no way to pass over...

It's not that Ubuntu has poor AMD support - it's that AMD has poor LINUX support since the move to AMDGPU-PRO when it comes to those of us doing compute-type work.
I tried using this. Im not sure if I downloaded an old version or what. Rx580 4GB was hashing at 14MH/s so I tried upgrading the drivers. The OS using a custom 4.11 kernel which the blockchain drivers don't support to top it off damn difficult to upgrade Xserver to 1.19 Hwe stack! Spent so long trying to configure it that I gave up. The setup is quite bad sets your fan to 100% as well and ubuntu support sucks for the amd card. Spent two hard nights trying to get it working and no luck. Stick with windows 10, unlicensed it's free anyway. You can install gpu-z to check memory is Hynix or Elpida which doesn't seem possible in ubuntu. Save you all the hassle from installing windows 10 to initial stock 2xMH/s hashrate to flashing bios, 30.x MH/s in three hours!

I don't have much experience with rxOC, but your problem usually comes from a broken display driver.
Try to run this command from ssh or terminal (Ctrl - Alt - f1) then reboot
Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Hope it helps
