Title: 20.7 Install Won't Boot
Post by: weswitt on October 10, 2020, 05:09:58 PM

Currently running 19.7 and decided it is time to move forward. Created a USB boot device and attempted the install. The USB device boot up to the menu but then when I continue and the kernel starts to boot in hangs. I get the blue "booting" message and then it hangs every time.

My hardware is a QOTOM Q190G4-S02 with a Intel J1900 processor.

Chances are it is booting just not in the console mode you want / can see.

When the Opnsense logo comes up.. press 3 for boot loader options..
then type
set kern.vty="vt"
boot

and see if it helps. You should only need to do this once.

Didn't work for me. May need to move back to untangle.
