I was delighted to see the update for the beta version 5.8b above however with a fresh install of ubuntu 20.04.3 kernel 5.11 and driver 21.30 promised working in PM post above but clinfo doesnt even see a single card just the IGFX which obv isnt used for mining. Using chipset B550 and the only way i have ever been able to get pm working under ubuntu on driver later than 20.40 is single GPU only long ago. Maybe its a bios thing im not used to such modern mobo, currently got pci set to gen 1 - Any ideas? And in my defence i wil state that without touching a bios setting i can boot into Manjaro and mine with 6 x RX6800XT although stale shares are running around 20% using driver 20.40 and opencl as per this info: https://community.amd.com/t5/drivers-software/6900xt-and-opencl-on-linux/td-p/439474/page/2


I would do these on your BIOS settings:

  • Set PCIe to Gen 2
  • 4G decoding turned on (cryptomining mode in some boards)
  • Turn off any overclocking (including on RAM -- XMP)



appreciate the reply. the board is loaded with optimal defaults and havent seen anything like 4G decoding among its bios options but will have another good luck thru. Given PM reply after yours I shall wait it out for next release whilst trying not to sucumb to falling back into windows which would hurt the spirit but not the pocket lol.
