hi, i just modified slax linux distro specifically for gpu and cpu mining, i prefer slax because you can run it without any storage device (harddisk or flashdisk) since it can copy itself entirely to run from PC memory, which is cool ! build 0.3-beta2 update 0.3 final are ready, go to http://www.cryptoslax.web.idCryptoSLAX 0.3, download (316 MB) or on official website : http://www.cryptoslax.web.idscreenshot![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FB9m2DbB.jpg&t=665&c=jLsZX4pnmsjIHw) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F5642i21.jpg&t=665&c=N1UrCQhhocwj7A) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FdJpMBeq.jpg&t=665&c=2q4XnGHhcMh95g) Features : - only need minimal 512 MB USB FlashDisk
- can run with unplugged flash disk, since SLAX can copy itself to run from computer RAM
- built-in cgMiner-3.7.2 with support for GPU scrypt (ltc, doge & friends), scrypt:2048 (vertcoin), SHA256 (bitcoin), keccak(sha3:maxcoin)
- built-in yvg1900 protoshares cpu miner (all 64-bit variation of CPU)
- built-in jhPrimeMiner xpm cpu miner (all 64-bit variation of CPU)
- built-in clPts 0.2.2 (protoshare opencl miner)
- built-in vertcoin cpu miner from max.1gh.com
- built-in cgminer bitcoin miner (asic) 3.12.3
- built-in vnc-server, sshd, smbd (automatically run out-of-the-box)
- built-in AMD Catalyst 13.12 with ADL SDK 6.0 and AMD APP SDK 2.9
- minimal installation, only KDE desktop with text-editor, web-browser, and file-manager
How To Install : - 1. Extract the content of .7z to formatted flash disk with FAT32 Partition
- 2. Run [FLASHDISK]\slax\boot\bootinst.bat (on linux run bootinst.sh)
- 3. Boot from it (make sure persistence changes is checked for first boot)
- *. if needed, root password is toor
Changes : - updated AMD Catalyst to 13.12 , APP SDK 2.9, and AMD ADL 6.0
- custom re-compiled x86_64 kernel to support AMD IOMMU
- automatically detect AMD GPUs on first boot, and set x.org.conf
- auto run VNC-server for display 0 on port 5901 on KDE login (warning : no-password!)
- auto run SMB-server on boot (warning : no-password! , root access!)
- auto sync local time with ntp server on boot
- fully working KDE desktop, now dbus is working (you can copy-paste now, lol!)
- clean-up using .sb, rootcopy folder now only has miner config files
- now i call it CryptoSlax since slax-cryptominer is too long
- added KDE mainmenu items to launch miner or edit miner config files
- on launching miner, it will create screen session before run the miner, so you can access it from ssh remotely
warning : this distro is not secure, there are no firewall, and most service are open for root access without password note: this is beta version, please report any kind of bugs or feature request

Great, I was waiting for a Linux x64 dedicated mining distro.
Which AMD SDK and Catalyst drivers are installed?
Thanks!

What, no iso?
It would be nicer to try as an iso as a virtual machine first before having to reboot anything.
also 2. run [FLASHDISK]\slax\boot\bootinst.bat doesn't work in MacOS.

well sorry about that limitation, but there's should be a tool that convert bootable flashdisk into iso, and if you want to try it on VM it just wont work since they can't find AMD GPU there

Hi,
Note that new version of pts miner is available, and pls take care of huge pages config to achieve better perf.
Also look at my comment at reddit for some extra info on miner update.

This is awesome. I wish I would have seen this a few days ago. I was having a hell of a time getting my Linux machine working with my cards.

I can't get this distro to work with multiple gpu's,...getting "ADL found less devices than opencl". Tried with just a 6870x2, it would only see one gpu & run at half speed. Then tried a 7950 with a 7870 Myst LE, both give error -1. With only 1 gpu it worked great. Any ideas on how to update the video drivers? I've tried dummy plugs, hooking up each card to monitors, aticonfig --adapter=all (get "parsing the command-line failed", wants aticonfig --inital run first), aticonfig --adapter=all --initial -f. Even re-ran # cd /opt/radeon-setup/ # ./radeon-setup.sh reboot. All without success & google hasn't helped so far besides saying it's a driver issue. thanks

Hello. I will use your distro during the week but is compatible with the new AMD graphics cards R9?
If not, I will be able to install the new drivers right?

Slax will not boot.My motherboard that use a 64 bit processor and use
IOMMU in order to find those USB devices. Since the default SLAX 3.8.2
kernel doesnt include AMD IOMMU and doesnt have HID built in (it has
modules), some motherboards are not able to use USB keyboards at all
with their usb 2.0 ports.How can I fix this?
