Title: Strange problem about stuck at booting
Post by: dreamerman on April 07, 2019, 12:36:35 am: I managed to get latest and updated v19.1.5 working. My dashboard GUI looks fine and works but the console is showing something different - see pic. Looks like it is still stuck at booting. I can restart console via GUI but each time it is still stuck at booting. Is that normal? If not I won't "roll out into production" even though it is only for home network.

Thanks, I tried UEFI but it won't even boot. In BIOS it is set as LEGACY.

and possibly(!) reinstall via UEFI boot so it makes the EFI partition(s).

Is that Console Redirection under advance settings?

Post by: franco on April 07, 2019, 12:26:23 pm: Section "Console", vt driver should be enabled, primary to "EFI Console", secondard to "None".

Cheers,

Franco, I looked at all the options but there are no EFI CONSOLE.

I can reach GUI no problems on a laptop connected to opnsense machine. The machine is connected to a monitor via VGA cable (no HDMI option). The scrip on the monitor is stuck at "booting...." while in the background the scrip rolls on silently. After a while I can use the laptop to reach GUI.

Post by: dreamerman on April 10, 2019, 02:22:30 pm: I have decided to ignore being stuck at boot since the GUI works fine. Hopefully future upgrades will solve this issue for me.
