Just received my 1060 and dropped it onto one of my Linux hosts and it wouldn't boot. Wouldn't boot in any of my Linux hosts. I reinstalled the 750Ti and the 1060 and it will boot but BOINC doesn't recognize the 1060 even with the use_all_gpus flag in the cc_config file. Have had no success updating the driver but that really shouldn't matter because 361.47 should work. Boots into windoze fine. O/S is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Searched and tried a bunch of stuff to no avail.

You'll never know what you're living for until you know what you're willing to die for.
I have the GTX 1080 installed in a machine that I dual boot and I have no problems booting into Linux (Mint). I don't have drivers setup in Linux because I don't crunch GPU from Linux. So I don't know if you mean Linux won't boot or you can't crunch with it.
The machine I want to use it on is Linux only. With the 750Ti installed it boots. With the 1060 installed it will not boot. Get a flash of a boot screen then nothing. Can't ssh in or use ctrl-alt-f* so I know it's not booting. Monitor has no signal.

Sorry, unfortunately I don't have a clue. I haven't had to fight that problem .... yet!
Ship it to me and I'll see what I can learn.

1 problem solved. Finally got the newest video driver for Linux installed and it will now boot up. YAY! Now I just need to find out how to get BOINC to recognize it and I'll be good to go.

Had to use the following commands to get things started.
sudo usermod -a -G video boinc
( this adds the unprivalidged boinc account to the video group )
sudo update-rc.d -f boinc-client remove
sudo update-rc.d boinc-client defaults 99
( move BOINC start-up to the end of start-up processing )
sudo apt-get nvidia-modprobe <- This step is not needed with 367 driver installed on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Don't know about other distros
sudo modprobe nvidia_uvm
( without nvidia-modprobe installed boinc will not find the GPU )
sudo service boinc-client restart
Card was now detected but then found out that installing the new driver did not install OpenCL or CUDA. Used synaptic package manager to install both and we're good to go.

Sweet! I gotta crib these notes of yours for the future.
Will the pascal gpus work in the T5500 and Z600 systems?
Don't see why they wouldn't with the correct driver but I don't know if the new driver is dependent on the latest/newest kernel update. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I had to install the 750Ti to get the the 10xx driver installed. I then removed the 750 and put the 10xx to boot. Since I'm a Linux noob YMMV.
