I have a problem with the last (farthest from the edge) PCie slot on my board. I see the BIOS welcome screen appearing then screen output switch to the nearest card on the side when the desktop is loaded.
I tried changing the card and changing the PCI-e extender but the same location always fail.
I have 5 GPU connected here is some more info:

We can see that the problematic adapter is detected as default but desktop output is on adapter 1.
EDIT:
My flash drive hosting Xubuntu was corrupted. I tried a BAMT fresh install on a new flash drive instead and all cards are mining now.
