AMD RX 6700xt 6800 rig - Can't upgrade HiveOS past 0.6-203

I have not been able to upgrade my AMD 4x6700xt & 3x6800 HiveOS rig past v0.6-203. If I do attempt an upgrade, it completes and boots. However, it seems there’s a driver or OC issue then. The load of the rig goes through the roof and no hashing starts. If I try to do an amd-info the command hangs… When I revert back to 0.6-203 everything works again. I’ve tried wiping OC settings, deleting flight sheets and re-creating with no luck… Looking for some help on this as I’ve tried multiple different versions and the same issue occurs.

Here are some errors I received after upgrading to the latest 0.6-209 -

It seems like i’ve resolved this. I had to completely blow away my OC settings since DPM is a hidden value in some views…Once I got rid of that I was able to upgrade and been running for about an hour.

Now onto the issue of why my cards are drawing more power (atleast what hiveos is reporting) after the upgrade.
