Title: Hanging in first boot from USB
Post by: alfemann on December 23, 2020, 10:41:26 AM

As my old Opnsense installation resides on a computer that is getting a bit old and tired, I purchased a new desktop PC and downloaded 20.7 to install. The problem is that the boot sequence stops right after some information about the video-card. The machine is then completely frozen, and has to be power-cycled.

Image is OPNsense-20.7-OpenSSL-vga-amd64.img.bz2
Installed to a 16G USB stick
Hardware : HP ProDesk 600 G5
-SFF
- Core i5 9500 / 3 GHz
- RAM 8 GB
- SSD 256 GB
- NVMe
- DVD-Writer
- UHD Graphics 630
- GigE

Attached is an image of where in the boot process it freezes.
Does anybody know what on earth this could be caused by ?

Boot method needs to be UEFI. Looks like you booted in legacy mode? Please check.

No, it is UEFI.
Have now tested with legacy and non-legacy and all the settings I can think of....
