Hey guys,
Is there a guide for the driver update? The script wont work for me for any reason 
What are you waiting from drivers update?
I tried 20.xx version and had same hashrateat less mhz,so I could decrease mvolt and save some wattsā¦or increase hashrate at same mhzā¦but i cant verify in hiveos because i cant update the driver. My card is newer than the 19.30 driverā¦thats weirdā¦
AMD driver package and AMD drivers builtin in Hive OS not the same things
Builtins AMD driver is mix of 3 things
- AMD linux kernel module (latest from AMD repository)
- AMD OpenCL libs (for best hashrate)
- AMD GPU firmware (from latest AMD drivers package)
So why do i then have better results with official newesr amd driver and how can i reach same results in hiveosā¦must be an optimization to the driver after latest firmware release of my 5700 card i assumeā¦
I finally got itā¦updated to 20.20 and got 0.5 mhash per card at same watts.

guide to update amd drivers to 20.20 which is the latest driver supported by phoenixminer. you can update to 20.30 or 20.40 if you have another miner that supports a newer driver.
boot to maintenance mode with loading drivers
open remote access
cd ā¦
cd hive-drivers-pack
wget http://download.hiveos.farm/drivers/amdgpu-pro-20.20-1089974-ubuntu-18.04.tar.xz
tar -Jxvf amdgpu-pro-20.20-1089974-ubuntu-18.04.tar.xz
cd amdgpu-pro-20.20-1089974-ubuntu-18.04
amdgpu-uninstall
y

after uninstall check dkms status:
dkms status
-> if you have Error, use command:
for i in /var/lib/dkms//[^k]/source; do [ -e ā$iā ] || echo ā$iā;done
copy the output line directory and remove those directory (or directories if more than one is listed in outut)
rm -r ādirectoryā
reboot
check ādkms statusā
should be without errors and without amd driver now
cd ā¦
cd hive-drivers-pack
cd amdgpu-pro-20.20-1089974-ubuntu-18.04
./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=pal --headless
reboot without maintenance mode - done

Great ! Thanks!
When I run ādkms statusā, I get the error āError! Could not locate dkms.conf file.ā
And when I browse
/var/lib/dkms/amdgpu
I do see 5.6/ 5.6.5/ 5.6.5.24-1109583/ kernel-5.0.21-201105-hiveos-x86_64@ kernel-5.0.21-hiveos-x86_64@ kernel-5.4.67-hiveos-beta-x86_64@ kernel-5.6.0-hiveos-betaĀ±x86_64@
And withing each directory, I have something like
5.6.0-hiveos-beta+/ source@
Any idea how I can move forward?
Thank you in advance,
Silat
itĀ“s one post above. you need to delete the directories that are shown after typing the command. should be clear
Thank you. I saw that, but when I do āfor i in /var/lib/dkms//[^k]/source; do [ -e ā$iā ] || echo ā$iā;doneā
I get :
/var/lib/dkms//[^k]/source
And I am sorry, but I do not know what to do from hereā¦
Thereās a typo in the command it should be:
for i in /var/lib/dkms/*/[^k]*/source; do [ -e ā$iā ] || echo ā$iā;done
damnā¦didnt see thatā¦copy pasted it into this forumā¦sorry for that
i am getting an error where it wonāt let me remove the dkms directories i have installed. I have three and I assume I should leave the amd one alone. Please some help would be great
Good stuff! Thanks for taking the time to post this.
hello, thanks for your guide.
i tried to do all steps, had to change āamdgpu-uninstallā command to āamdgpu-pro-uninstallā
and install gets stucked on āBuilding initial module for 5.4.80-hiveosā and then error.
after restart it says A: 20.40 but can I trust this? my 6900xt still does not be recognized
any help?
just a quick self reply, I made a new boot hdd with fresh install and the problem continued, even if the new amd drivers 20.40 are already in the latest build.
then I made a clean BETA install, and its workingā¦
soā¦ users that have this problem, use the BETA version for nowā¦
did you tried install 20.50??? i am stuck at āWARNING: amdgpu dkms failed for running kernelā
no, i did not. on Hive GPU Drivers Collection only 20.40
regarding dkms error, see the procedure CryptoMining talked about. I tried all the process but always got an error on kernel.
