Title: Cannot install 23.7 on SYS-E200-12A-8C
Post by: TheSmoker on January 26, 2024, 09:01:57 PM
Hi,

I am trying to install OPNSense 2.37 img or iso on a supermicro SYS-E200-12A-8C, after booting i am receiving the following error and hangs (not keyboard no mouse, needs hard reset):
https://ibb.co/1YCFTXw (https://ibb.co/1YCFTXw)
Tried with USB2 and 3 sticks, as well as very old ones, about 6 or 7. The server only has USB3 ports. Secureboot is disabled.

Any pointers?

You may want to open a bug with FreeBSD

Yes, it seems it's a FreeBSD 14 issue. I managed to replicate same behavior with pfSense, OPNSense and FreeBSD14 :(

OPNsense is on the FreeBSD 13.x train for now. Depending on when 14.1 is out we'll get there in July or January 2025

Two things you might wanna try are upgrading the BIOS if possible and tinkering with he BIOS options (defaults might not be ideal)

It looks like C5000 series is too new for FreeBSD13/14. SATA & USB drivers are not there yet.

I've managed to boot it with FreeBSD 15 CURRENT. All hardware present and accounted for.

Just letting you know, maybe other people will have a similar issue.

Open an issue on Github in https://github.com/opnsense/src (https://github.com/opnsense/src)

Timing is not great, but if you're lucky there could be a small window of opportunity for the fixes to make it into the new 24.1 iso
