Hi,
I have problems with installing the driver for my GTX 1070 on my ethOS 1.2.2. It almost finishes, but the something goes wrong with some kernel stuff...
I'm new att Linux, so I really don't know how to solve this now. Any suggestions on how to install the driver in good, easy way (if there is...)?
Thanks!

I'm running drivers 367.57 as they were closest in version number to what claymore recommends that i could find. I've not tried others.
To download them, do (please note, i'm manually typing these so may have typed mistakes) :-
sudo wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/367.57/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.57.run
then
sudo chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.57.run
then
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.57.run --no-x-check
and complete the install.
I then may have restarted (not sure)
but then type
minestop
and
disallow
to stop whatever EthOS is trying to mine with
then type
cd /opt/miners/claymore
then type
vi start.bash
which lets you edit the start.bash file (look into 'vi' instructions on how to edit, but basically press 'a' to allow editing, then when you are done press ESC and then type :w to save the file, then :q to quit
then type
sh start.bash
and assuming your claymore start.bash file is correct, hopefully you will start mining
If claymore complains, it may be that the drivers didn't install properly
So basically, you can't mine with EthOS default mining stuff (that i've found) but you can manually start claymore and get it mining.
I'll try this!
