Hello,

even if i dont know Ubuntu at all i do think your problemis that you installed EthOS in legacy not UEFI mode.

What it does is when you turn on cryptorcurrency mining than UEFI mode is automaticaly on. Thats why you have black screen.


Ethos doesn't use UEFI mode at all, it boots off legacy mode. And it's not installed as a regular install, it's rather byte-copied from the file Ethosdistro provides.

So i'm wondering how tharp was able to make it.

Appreciate the post it helped me to get 8 GPU's mining on EthOS with this motherboard. Pulling 1230watts at the wall and 237MH/s.

Has anyone gotten the M.2 slot to work with a pcie x4 adapter?

Here is the screen shot:

I also use EthOS but can't get more than 4 GPUs working. Once I enable "cryptocurrency mode", I get black screen that turns into lined garbage in about 30 seconds -> complete freeze.
If I don't enable cryptocurrency mode, EthOS crashes if more than 4 GPUs attached.
I also have M.2/NGFF->PCIex4 adapter and I'd like to give it a try once I can run at least 7x GPU due to the issue above.

How did you make it work?
