Topic: [OS] rxOC easy-to-use Linux AMD Mining v_stopgap - page 8. (Read 31487 times)

OK, mined ETH all night!

Looking forwards to next version, but meanwhile, thanks for all you've done for us!

 
Next job: upgrade Claymore to 10.0 and tweak OC...

Update:

Figured out that I can run fsck manually with the following:


Afterwards, CTRL-ALT-DEL gets Ubuntu to start, but no GUI... just a login.

Will continue trying to troubleshoot and look through the thread again to see how to start the GUI...

I've decided to stop waiting for v0013 and just run with v0012 for now because all my 1000-series rigs are now stable (thanks, @fullzero and all the contributors!) and my six Radeon RX470s were sitting idle (boo! BOO!)

But I'm running into a snag. On First Boot with the v0012 build after imaging (with the same solution I successfully use for imaging nvOC), the rig falls into BusyBox, as shown in the top screen, here:



Second boot goes into Grub, which allows me to start Ubuntu, but goes into the second image in the image above, reporting some sort of corruption and need for fsck.

I've scratched and re-imaged the USB key (same model used with nvOC), I've removed all video cards but the one in the primary X16 slot, I've pre-edited the oneBash file and dropped it into various folders for First Boot, but no joy.

It's on an Asus Z170-AR mobo - which worked fine in Win 10 for mining 6 cards after BIOS update. I have Above 4G enabled.

Any suggestions or direction for troubleshooting? I'm happy to provide whatever info anyone needs to assist. (Warning: I am still getting my bearings in Ubuntuland.)

I'm currently set up with a single video card in the primary X16 slot, connected via USB riser. On First Boot, I briefly get the purple Ubunu desktop background before the screen goes black and it drops into BusyBox.

If necessary, I'll pull the mobo out so that I can do a first boot with a card directly in the slot - that's something I've found necessary for Windows builds, but which I have not found to be necessary for nvOS builds.

Thanks, in advance!

Issue with slow GPU0 solved by setting it's PCIe slot to Gen2 in BIOS. I had Gen1 for all slots before.

I did the same to apply dagfix, with the same effect on the GPU0, tried to run it headless and yes, it is the same slow without monitor attached. By the way I had the same problem with nvOC headless P106 rigs, and it was easily solved by reconfiguring xorg with nvidia tool when no monitor attached. Maybe reconfiguration is the right way here too, but I don't know how to do it with RX cards.

Try to change BIOS PCI-E link speed setting to "Auto"

First all, Thank you very much for the awesome work you do!!

So,

Tried to put the DAG fix using the following:

#Install new ROCm Kernel:

wget -qO - http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/ xenial main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rocm

#edit grub
sudo nano  /etc/default/grub
#2MB fragments for Ellesmere are enabled with a grub option:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="amdgpu.vm_fragment_size=9"

sudo update-grub
sudo reboot


The problem is the first GPU will now do about half speed while the other GPU's are running properly faster. Tried multiple times, different gpu's, etc, same results.

I know it's being updated in V13, anybody have a clue how to fix this first GPU problem in the meantime? I've just reverted back to untouched V12.

If anyone cares, my 580's run at about 25(no oc), with dag fix 27, but the first gpu will run at 14, would be nice to get them all to 27.

Thanks for reply! Is there way to perform undervolt on cards, with your OS or in Linux generally?
I'm not very familiar with Linux.

I just installed rxoc.  How do you edit the 1bash after i ssh in??? can i edit the 1bash from inside ubuntu locally?

how do you overclock amd cards on this also???

Hi, will v13 released soon?

so is there a way to disable mining so I can test another algorithm?

-phil

is there a way to stop the mining process completely so I can test out another algo?

-phil

I use RX580 Nitro+, and get 24 MHs only.
On the boot screen I see:

GPU[0]       : Supported GPU Memory clock frequencies on GPU0
GPU[0]       : 0: 300Mhz *
GPU[0]       : 1: 1000Mhz
GPU[0]       : 2: 1750Mhz
GPU[0]       :

Where is 2000Mhz and more?

First - THANK YOU for nvOC and rxOC!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

One question: any plans to support XMR/Monero in rxOC?

OK, I tried to boot up a rig with this MB and it didn't work so I assumed it wasn't supported... I'll give it a try with fewer GPU's

-phil

any plans to add the ASrock H110 Pro BTC+ to the list of supported boards?

-phil

Hi guys! This system have DAG FIX?  I very happy of NVOS on P106 mining =)
Now want RXOS for RX580 =)
Thanks!

Thank you so much for your reply, will give it a try tomorrow.
Waiting for the better v013.

Hello FullZero and all,
Thank you for this great rxOC v12, has been using it for two weeks with biostar tb250-btc pro 12pcie(but only 6 rx570 attached). Until today, I add another 6 rx570, it wont boot into my terminal, while I have enable 6+ gpu in bios, have set tolud to 3.5g, tried legacy/uefi combinations for storage and graphic in bios boot, still no luck today, the furthest I can go is until a message box pops telling me "the system is running in low graphics mode"(but I plug my hdmi into the same main gpu n monitor), if I click OK, it leads me to several options,
1, try running with default graphical mode
2, reconfigure graphics
3,trouble shoot the error
4, exit to console login
 but I was unable to choose other options except the first one, which brings me back to "the system is running in low graphics mode".... if I move to console 2, I could login to cli, and able to start claymore manually with 12 gpus working.

I am lost now, switching back to 6gpu, and everything is working perfectly.

Somebody please enlighten me to let all 12gpus working.

Thank you in advance

Yes it worked with one card. I am wondering if it doesn't like the mix of different cards rx470 / 570s
