AMD RX 5700 / XT support:
- New SimpleMiningOS image released for AMD RX 5700 / XT (codenamed Navi). This is a very experimental version and does not have full functionality, and it was released only for testing purposes. Work is still underway to launch the full functionality, stability and speed of the mining process)
- This image is also the first one in SImpleMining that are dual BIOS/UEFI (MBR/EFI) boot mode compatible.
Yesterday I gave it a try for 3 hours and It was not successful. I followed the instructions for flashing the image, setting up the BIOS etc, yet every time after boot rig was hanging for 5 min and then was showing error message and exiting kernel boot. I tried with same rig with the image for AMD RX 370/380/390/470/480/570/580 and it was booting normally. Surely it didn't find my RX5700XT but the OS was running.
We found bug in image that supports 5700 gpus. That bug can cause that rig will not boot at all.
We will release today fixed image, please try it when we will release it again.
Sorry for that.
