Hello,
2 quick questions. New to mining and linux ... not new to PCs. I loaded this OS on a ThinkServer 140 with a Nvidia 1070 in it over the weekend. I got it working, but it will only work with the BIOS in Legacy mode. Booting in UEFI says Operating System not Found. I originally thought it was due to me initializing the disk as MBR, so I wiped it and initialized it GPT. That didn't seem to help. I'm ok with running this system in Legacy BIOS, but I'm looking to build an 8 GPU miner and was reading in this thread UEFI may need to be enabled to get some systems to see 8 GPUs. Is it the image I'm using? Is there a UEFI capable disk image out there anywhere?
2nd, the 8 GPU miner I want to build. With video cards in short supply and going for 2-2.5x MSRP prices, I'm wondering if I should just hoard cash until the Volta line of GPUs become available. This might be a stupid question, but am I right in assuming getting a Volta based GPU to work in Simple Miner is as simple as updating video drivers?
Also, once I got it setup, SimpleMiner works like a champ ... love the OS.
