Title: Segmentation fault while installing
Post by: niclasc on January 27, 2019, 04:03:39 pm
Trying to install on an HP Elitebook 830 G3 but the installer crashes with a Segmentation fault.
I'm now running pfsense on the same hardware without a problem

How can I fix this?

Bummer. We will likely replace the installer due to its untraceable issues in 19.7 or 20.1.

So the solution is to wait 6 months to install????

No, the solution is to find somebody who is willing to put in 4 weeks of work for this. Any takers?

The old bsdinstaller doesn't stand the test of time in this regard and needs to be replaced or fully repaired. The latter doesn't make a lot of sense.

I had the same issue with several versions on certain machines.
My solution is to boot with a USB, connect trough SSH and then do the installation.
That way I had no problems at all
