ethOS - Ethereum Mining Platform

[EvilC0P]

I bought EthOS 1.2 last night and i'm having issues booting the OS on an USB key.

mb : MSI Z270-A Pro
cpu : Intel G4400
5x MSI RX 480 gaming 8gb

I was able to get it to work once and it ran for a few hours, then i modified the conf file and then did a reboot.
Since then i get artifacts on the screen or a black screen.

Does EthOS supports chipset Z270? Any issues with that chipset?

Is there an update for that? but again, i downloaded it last night.

/help
thanks

I dont think the z170a and 270 chipsets are supported yet,

I cannot get any more than 4 gpu to work with ethos and z170a, it hangs on bootup, kernel debug error

[EvilC0P]

that's what i found out on their chat.
i ended up swapping my z270 with an old p5q3, 4 rx 480 works for now but 5th one doesn't get detected but doesn't prevent system from booting and mining. kinda weird ;/

and they said there is an update coming out soon to fix the issue with z170/z270, just so you know

yep I know, until then I am running windows 10

dear miners, i have 1 x Asus RX470 Strix + 3 x Asus RX480 Strix, will it work over EthOS? I do not know too much about overclocking and putting right values (voltage, memory etc), do i need to tweak the configuration to work at optimum/best hash rate possible?

What about the differences between simplemining OS and EthOS? Both are ubuntu based, Simplemining OS worked fine for me without overclocking, do not want to play with the values still...

ETH blessed you all

Happy to report that ethOS will have a global stats panel live and ready with the release of ethOS on February 15th.

I have developed a method to have your rigs report directly to the global stats panel, autogenerate an "account", and also prevent write access to your panel from non-users, all without password management. Since this panel is "read only", there is absolutely no risk of rig takeover resulting from a site-wide compromise.

This panel is meant for large-scale global view of large farms. One feature I hope to add before release: text message alerts for ethOS customers. Text message alerts will alert you if there is a catastrophic loss of hash, rigs going down, etc.

Hi kotarius,

Any news or updates regarding adding alerts to ethos?

ethos is a great tool!

Can anyone confirm ethOS is working properly with 7 cards on a z170 board?

the website does now state "Supports up to 10 AMD RX Series GPUs: Including support for Intel Z170/X/270/X Chipsets and AMD Ryzen"

Was there an update that made this work?

I honestly haven't tried with my Ryzen 5 yet but that also my main PC which is a windows 10 box and more then likely will never be a main mining rig .

but i will be buying 3 Ryzen 3, to use on three rigs, once there released .

[CrypR]

Can anybody recommend specific boards, GPUs and/or methods that have been successfully used to get 7, 8 or more GPUs mining per rig with EthOS?

[bulgar73]

is there any guide for this new tools ..... "Added OhGodACompany bios mod tools to ethOS (ohgodadecode, ohgodacsumfixer)"

thnx

Greetings,
is older hardware supported on ethOS?
P35/P45-based Intel motherboards are listed here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1626128.0
Is that list accurate? Do all those boards support multi-gpu configurations?
Thanks.

we are testing push up alert in ethos android app. I'm trying make some setting UI. but it takes some time. kotarius will make it faster maybe.

Trying to setup remote reboot , what command do you use

[emmettoc]

Hi,

I bought EthOS and trying it now. The noise of GPUs is much louder than another rig with Windows. How can I reduce it? The hashrate is almost same as the Windows one. Thanks.

[buffy007]

you can set up fan speed in /home/ethos/local.conf

globalfan 100 - try set it to 85%. windows use dynamical fan speed I think

[bulgar73]

Trying to setup remote reboot , what command do you use

reb 3eca8 9

reb - command
3eca8 - name of your rig, up left corner of default screen
9 - increased number of restarts, this will start from 1 and you increase number if you want to restart the rig

then save this change on remote config, after 5-10 min. rig restarts,

I have 5 rigs running on MSI z170a gaming m7 MBs. 3 have 6 gpus, and 2 have 7. Yes they work, but they are a bit finicky.

[wanheda]

Hello, I have mother msi z170a m5 and 6 rx470 and I can't start ethos with more than 3 gpu. When I try to boot with 4/5/6 it crashes in:
"IF YOUR SYSTEM HANGS AT THIS LINE AND NO DESKTOP APPEARS, THERE IS A HARDWARE PROBLEM. CHECK ALL HARDWARE! Allow up to 2 minutes for desktop to appear".

I have:
- Last BIOS firmware
- Windows 7 installation Disable
- HD AUDIO CONTROLLER Disable
- 4G Enabled
- PEG1 and PEG2 in Auto

And also try with PEG0 and PEG1 in GEN1 and GEN2.
Some help? I'm going crazy.

Thanks
