Hello all. I recently decided to switch from pfsense to opsense. I have an old HP P7 1074 with an AMD phenom II x4 processor and 8 gb of ram. I created a bootable USB and load the PC. During the boot process, the PC reboots. This occurs every time. I attempted to install 18.7 and was successful. I then attempted to install 19.1 via web GUI and the PC gets into a bootloop. Can anyone help me figure out how I can install 19.1?
It has to do with an old amd cpu bug.
To work around it, create this file: /boot/loader.conf.local
Inside put this:
hint.hpet.0.clock=0
hint.ahci.0.msi=2
hint.sdhci_pci.0.disabled=1
hint.sdhci_pci.1.disabled=1
Reboot... and voilá!
I thought this was fixed in 11.2. :(
Thanks for reporting this.
Cheers,
Franco

Thank you I will try this once I'm at home. Do I need to use option 3 when booting and then use the set command?
Try to enable UEFI BOOT from BIOS and disable win7/win8 legacy.
This works for me.

The bios has no uefi option. I tried the above instructions from the loader prompt and I still get a bootloop. I can't get to install.

Thanks MiroSAN! Enabling UEFI worked for me. I'm glad I finally found this thread, I was starting to mutter more expletives to myself than usual. ;-) Cheers!
Does anyone else have some insight on how I can install opnsense 19.1 without a bootloop? Thank you in advance.
You didn't say anything about this:

Sorry about that but I did comment in the message about UEFI that the commands didn't work. I tried them from the loader prompt.
Latest BIOS ?
The commands _should_ work, but in any case you could try reinstalling 18.7, configuring it and then attempt an upgrade.

I've tried that and once I update to 19.1 I end up with a bootloop. I'm beginning to give up and just stick with pfsense although I really wanted to use opnsense.
Maybe try Franco's "Test" Image per this thread https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=11419.105 and see if that helps

Thank you for the suggestion but it didn't work. It gets stuck at Looking up /BOOT/LOADER..Found.
