I am very new to Opnsense and purchased a new mini PC with specs below:
Intel Quad Core N100, DDR5 8GB RAM with Intel I226-V Ethernet Controller
However almost everytime I reboot Opnsense it is either stuck at Boot (where it says autoboot 3,2,1, the screen is stuck at 3) or enters kernel panic.
I checked this forum for some solutions, applied suggestions about Bios settings etc.
I replaced the SSD, did memory test, still the same result.
Opnsense seems to work fine when running (I tried 1-2 hours by connecting to the internet) however when rebooted, system crashes.
Where do I start from please? You may request some log files, at what stage and from where do I need to provide them?
I suggest to do a search on this forum for N100. Seems to have to have a firmware that is up to date.
If you cannot get a BIOS update from your vendor that fixes it, return the device and buy another brand.
Thank you for the information, I was not aware of such a problem. Do you recommend a particular mini PC with similar spec or CPU model?
