Title: Unable to fresh install on (multiple hardwa) VMware Workstation virtual machines
Post by: marcelmah on August 03, 2018, 01:09:18 pm

Hi,

Because of my problem I mentioned earlyer ( https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=9285.0 ) I also wanted to try a fresh install because the 'working' image I have is an upgrade of an upgrade etc etc. I don't know with wich version I started with.

I now tried to install 18.7 on my 'server' (Windows 8.1 With VMware Workstation 12 Pro (can't upgrade to 14 because of specific CPU requirements) and my work laptop Windows 10 with VMware Workstation 14 Pro.

I tried with VM hardware version 11 and 12 (can't go higher because of my 'sever' limitation.

When I boot from the ISO I end up with an error 'Bus error (core dumped) when I enter on GPT/UEFI mode.
See attached screenshot.

When you login again as installer / opnsense, does it continue?


Cheers,

Yes it does.. and it continues where it left off... it finished but when I clicked reboot I briefly saw something of a segmentation fault.

It appears to work after installation...

Is this due to it using UEFI?

Alright so I tried again on my 'server', this time without enabling EFI in the VM harware and everything went fine, so I guess something isen't working as it should in EFI mode.

I have (had) multiple Linux and Windows VM's running on that machine with EFI enabled so I assume the problem is within OPNsense or BSD.
