20.1 Legacy Series / Re: OPNsense 20.1 installation - stuck at USB boot

I tried several usb flash drives, now I'm going with a 2GB one and the nano image installer, using a front usb port and that brings me past the error message on the first try! Thank you very much guys!

On a side note: the installer user doesn't work, root does with the password mentioned on the linked website. Now I have to figure out how to properly install :-)

20.1 Legacy Series / OPNsense 20.1 installation - stuck at USB boot

« on: July 11, 2020, 11:22:06 pm »

Hi all,

I got this firewall recommended from a friend and now want to install it to an old computer with the following hardware:

Intel Pentium (R) CPU G 645 @ 2,9 GHz, a dual core cpu
RAM:  4 Gigabyte (2 x 2048 MB) of DDR3
HDD: 128GB SSD, fresh from the blister package

I used the newest version of Rufus (3.11) to get the image to my USB stick, physdiskwrite didn't want to do the job. Booting works fine, but when I get to the line where it says "Booting..." , EFI framebuffer etc.., it either hangs or reboots after a few seconds. I tried different sticks to boot from, I tried <set vm.pmap.pti="0"> and another <set vm.> option that I don't remember and can't find :-p

If anyone has an idea, I'm very grateful to try it out. Thanks in advance!
