We have uploaded a new version of the magicOS.

Changelog:

1. Fix a bug in the 280x configuration template (error in json configuration)
2. Add specific configuration for 290x, please test it and report if it works
3. If using GridSeed in only scrypt mode, it creates one minerd instance for each module (in my tests it works better)
4. Some documentation improvements (README file)

I don't know if you don't give more details, sorry. Which command are u using for installing the image?

this work w/ blades or do binaries need to be updated?

[p4u]

I've never tested it with BTC ASICS, so there is not configuration template for that, you must create your own sgminer/cgminer configuration.
The magiOS currently have last sgminer, cgminer 3.1 and minerd. If one of those support blades, then it should work.

Let me know if you try it and if works send me the config file to include in the distribution for future releases.

Using it with great plessure,

But my question is,

Is there a way to update the X11 mining kernel (sgminer)

I found a kernel online thats supposed to be alot faster.

Or can i just overwrite the kernel map on the usb stick and then it works?

Would like to hear it asap.

I will work soon on include this sgminer in the operating system. I've been a little overloaded this week.

Thank you for reporting it!

thanks for your update,

Is there a way i can update it manually or is it easyer to wait for you and then just rewrite the os to the thumb drive.

If you have skills in Linux you can do it yourself.

Execute "sudo rw" to set the filesystem in read-write mode
Execute: sudo su; cd /root/
Clone the repository using git
Try to compile it following the README instructions

Some users have reported a compilation error related with the OpenCL, I've not checked it yet but if you do let me know.

i seem to have a realy weird problem

Im mining darkcoin on my p2pool node.

But now i've got the 2nd miner in action, the first is showing realy low hashrates (500-600khash/s) and the 2nd is fine. (1,9mhash)

Do you know whats happening?

i've set the api port for mcast and api port both from 4028 to something else so that shouldnt be a problem?

would like to hear from you as soon as possible

[p4u]

Sorry I have not idea. I have not experience mining X11. I have complied and prepared the whole system, but I don't know how to deal with your problem.

I'll include soon a new X11 software in the distribution, maybe it fix also your issue.

Cheers

Do you have any estimate on the update for the new sgminer? 5.0 Beta is already out in the wilds

Has X11 mining been updated on your OS?

[p4u]

Not yet, sorry. I've been very very busy with the pool.

I started some efforts to put the magicOS code online so anyone can contribute and modify it:

https://github.com/p4u/magicOS/

It does not work yet (the generated image is not booting, probably some error with the MBR/grub). If someone has time to check it, would be nice.

In any case, as soon as possible I will update the sgminer version.
