Hi all, I've MSI Z170A Gaming M5 and 7 gpu. I would like to use Linux based os, I tried Ubuntu but during boot I get kernel panic errors when I plug all gpus in. It couldn't boot if I plug more than 4 gpu. My gpu is Asus RX480.
My question is, can simplemining handle this case, I'm not sure because it's Ubuntu based OS as well.

... well.... there is only one way to find out ... why dont you get smos on the usb3 stick and try it out?

I have 5, 6 and 8 x RX480 rigs and 4, 6, 7 x R9-Nano rigs on smOS without any issues.

Thanks for your response. I just want to know before trying whether there is compatibility error. What is your mobo? As far as I know kernel panic occurs due to z170 chipset.

Should not have any hardware issues because kernel panic is usually OS and GPU driver related.

I use 2 types of mobo - the good old H81 Pro BTC and the Biostar Z170-GT7 for my 4xGPU riserless rigs -- runs well with 480 and Nanos.

After setting up the smOS on the usb stick - remember to upgrade kernel to AMD 16.6 drivers (you can do this in smOS itself).

4 gpu works perfect with Ubuntu, 5 doesn't. I will try within today and let you know if I've any trouble.
