I've tried 2 other USB devices, as well as using all of the USB ports available.

I reflashed another USB drive and "progressed" so that it now lastly says:

Code Select Expand


da0: quirks=0x2<NO_6_BYTE>
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/OPNsense_Install [ro,noatime]...

I'm using an ASRock 970 Extreme3 mobo with latest BIOS & a Phenom 975 AMD CPU, as well as an NVIDIA GTS 450.

Looks like this system is easily over 10 years old? Question is if the NIC hang is caused by broken hardware or something in igb/em driver that was changed over the years.


Cheers,

Yes, this is a PC using my old PC parts. However, I have a 5600G CPU & new motherboard for it on the way -- already have 48GB of DDR4 so I'm going to take about 16GB off of mine, the CPU comes in about a week from now for my new build that will be alongside my main PC that I'm using right now which has an 8700k. Once I learn how to make this router, that's all I'll use this for -- eventually though I'll need to learn how to use Qubes so that I can use the extra PC for more than just a router. I'm going to be using the integrated graphics here so hopefully that's fine. I figure since it's such an up to date CPU that it should be compatible with everything.

The one thing that I'm also not confident about is this NIC card -- I bought it used on ebay as suggested by some forum post for compatible hardware. I saw that the new NIC cards were $80 and I couldn't find any confirmation as to whether they're compatible, so I went with the used $20 cards they told me about. Can you link me to a new NIC card on amazon?

Hi, thanks for responding. Hopefully I listed all of the relevant hardware:

* Dell 0K828C Intel PRO/1000 Quad Port PCIE Server Adapter E34573 High Profile

* AMD Phenom II 975 BE CPU

* NVIDIA GTS 450 GPU

* 500W PSU

It keeps on spamming about my Logitech mouse disconnecting and connecting OR it totally freezes when it I believe detects my NIC card. I have some pictures here:

I'm trying to find information on how to make my own router using OPNSense, but it's so difficult to find that. Please help, thank you.
