Update RX6800 February / 2021

General
#24

Did you install HiveOS from scratch with this RX6800XT card or use the update over an existing installation via SSH as it suggested?

Could you try adding more than 8GB to see if you recognize it? Because it seems to me that the amount of memory in this case is associated. If you have another 8GB slope to get 16GB and we’ll see.

I’m sure the developers are watching all the reports and screens posted on that topic, I even forwarded a direct link to that topic to one of them.

The more people who report their cases with a wealth of information the better.

I’m now attempting this, and not having any luck. Here’s my history: I was mining on a pair of Radeon R9 390 flawlessly, and am now trying to add a couple 6800XTs. I was running the latest stable version of HiveOS (before I had seen this post). When I booted up the rig, the new cards were visible on startup, but the temperature, fan speed, and wattage readouts were not there - the R9 390 was there and did show the data. Phoenix miner only showed one GPU (the R9 390), and if I ran the amd-info command, only one GPU was listed.

Since seeing this post, I did an in-place ‘upgrade’ to the suggested alpha version here and rebooted the rig. I immediately noticed a difference: on startup, the 6800XTs showed the temperature, fan speed and wattage, so I thought I had success. Upon checking Phoenix miner, it did now detect the three GPUs, but the hash rates for the 6800XTs are zero, and Phoenix miner keeps restarting to try to get them going.

So, I wiped the drive and used Etcher to re-flash the drive with the alpha image. I booted that image with the same result - 6800XTs are detected, but hash-rate is zero.

Here’s my setup: Asus B550-Plus motherboard, Ryzen 5 2400G processor, 8GB DDR4 (I tried upgrading to 16GB once per the previous post, but that didn’t help).

I will try to run 6900XT from ASROCK on this image. I will share the test results on Friday, 2021-02-26.

I just got this to work! Saw another post suggesting using TeamRedMiner instead of Phoenixminer. It is now up and running. Here’s what I did: I changed my flight sheet to use TeamRedMiner, then I re-flashed the alpha image to my boot drive and booted the rig through the one-time setup. TeamRedMiner was erroring out, and on checking into it, it no longer supports my R9 390. So, I modified my flight sheet to use PhoenixMiner for GPU 1 and TeamRedMiner for GPUs 2 and 3. Everything seems to be humming along. I’ll let it run for a while, then will play with some overclocking/undervolting.

Cara funcionou!!!

I used the Alpha, made a new bootable device, DON’T upgrade … Phoenixminer 5.4b
core clock: 1200 mem clock:2150… 59-57MH

its working … with my others two rx5500xt together…

one thing that i have notice its the pendrive speed… i have done this configurations in one pendrive that in my point of view was tooooo slow[abbout 2x slower just booting], so a have changed the pendrive and… voila… its working [sandisk, that one red and black!!]…

valeu ai !!!

don’t mix amd with nvidia

There is nothing wrong with mixing AMD and Nvidia on HiveOS. It doesn’t experience the limitations that Windows does.

However, for Big Navi & Nvidia, it’s currently not supported on Alpha and you will need to receive the Beta version from a developer. You can ask in the Discord channel, I’m active frequently there and will direct you to where you need to go.

Hi! Is it possible tha you shared the Beta version? I just mounted a rig with one 3070 and to 6800xt, and I’m frustrated. Thanks in advance. (I connected to discord Hive.OS, but I see no channels on the server)

Hi! I´m connected to the HiveOS Discord, but I did´t see any channel! Could you tell me or send me an invitation to that channel? Many thanks!

Hello thanks for the alpha link.

So, I’ve seen 2 exacts same outcomes.

  • Beta to Alpha from “ssh” → bootloops
  • Alpha iso → bootloops
    NB: GPU is now recognised as 6800.

I’ve 2 6800 (primary) and 1 5700
In all cases I don’t have GUI (this is fine)

I’ll try to enable logs to pinpoint the issue.

Olá, bom dia!

Também sou Brasileiro e estou com esse mesmo problema.
Infelizmente eu tenho uma 2080 e acabei de comprar uma 6800 Sapphire Pulse e não estou conseguindo inicializar. Por favor, você pode incluir meu nome na lista?

Obrigado por sua ajuda.

Obs.: Estou acompanhando diariamente seu tópico.

Abs,

Whoever good that everyone is collaborating with their reports, it is certainly very important that everyone leave their experiences registered here in this topic to make life easier for those who are experiencing difficulties in using this RX6800 card.

#37

Could you please provide here in this topic the link of the beta version friend itsZeroday.

#38

I do not have the beta version. As I have stated, you have to join the Discord server and then a dev will get it to you when they get a chance.

I’m still having trouble making my 6800 card mine, I downloaded the 6800 specific image configuration, I used rufus to unzip the file, I did the procedure to add the farm correctly according to the code taken from the hive os, all just as standard as i used the rx 570 8gb, when i started in linux bios my computer just shut down in two attempts, thus restarting, by any chance the source needs a lot of energy to make the card run? why does the rx 6800 require at least 650 wats, and my source is 600wats? is that it? because I saw several people mining with 3 3070 plates in a 650 source and normal wheel, I would only use the 6800 and rx 570 at first.

I installed the card with all the recommended systems. The card was recognized but I was unable to mine due to ram (2gb). I’m going to buy new memories and test it out and then I’ll tell you about it.
Sorry for my English writing

You can add me to this list. Have a 6800XT not working on the latest release of HiveOS. Recognizes the card but can’t get it mining.

I have a 6800XT, I dont have the alpha build but the version number is the same as the pic. I have 16GB of memory and it didn’t work. I can’t do it right now, but I saw online that with the 6800 cards, it sometimes helps to lock the PCIe to 3.0 if you are using a riser, so I’ll try that when I can.
