Title: Gigabyte J3455N-D3H and OpnSense
Post by: walkerx on January 19, 2019, 05:54:38 pm

Hi,

I've just updated my old motherboard to a j3455N which supports aesni, but noticed that when booting from the installer it always hung on HPET and that unless you attach a vga cable it won't boot at all.

I found a few work-arounds on the net mainly for pfsense for the hpet issue and used this to get the system up and running, but does anyone know if this issue will be resolved in a later version of freebsd/opnsense

i've created a boot/loader.conf.local file and added hint.hpet.0.clock=0 which allows the system to be rebooted without someone having to use the console.

I've upgraded from a Gigabyte J1900N-D3V to the here mentioned Gigabyte J3455N-D3H and the realtime clock seems to work too slowly.
NTP doesn't get sync at all.
This is on 19.7.2.

Just upgraded to 20.1, no issues even with Sensei.
As FreeBSD 12.1 was planned I was hoping it would solve the issue but as this didn't happen the issue remains too.

@franco: any ideas?

OPNSense 20.7 based on HardenedBSD 12 finally solves the issue with the RTC.
