22.7 Legacy Series / Re: Noob Installation issues
November 22, 2022, 05:43:18 PM
Thank you for your message – I decided to again download the files (VGA and DVD) and utilize Etcher to burn the thumb drive for installation.  The DVD ISO errors saying no boot files located, so burning ti anyway it is not discoverable from the bios boot menu. After burning the vga files, it is located in the boot menu and will boot only to stop in the same place.
The last several lines of the installation prior to stopping is:
atkbdc8: <Keyboard controller (18842)> at port 8x68, 0x64 on isa0
atkbd8: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc8
kbd8 at atkbd8 atkbd8: [GIANT-LOCKED]
uart8: <16558 or compatible> at port 8x3f8 irq 4 flags 8x18 on isa0

Im not sure what the next steps might be, I did however download pfsense and it stops in the same place – I am starting to assume it's the platform, although the DVD/ISO still doesn't burn from the files I downloaded on Rufus or Etcher

22.7 Legacy Series / Noob Installation issues
November 19, 2022, 01:30:33 AM
I have been searching with no luck, please flame me and point me in the correct direction is this is an old topic

I am doing an install (trying) and getting the error: uart8: <16558 or compatible> at port 8x3f8 irq 4 flags 8x18 on isa0
I am installing this on a generic pc with a 64bit Intel Atom Z8350 (Amazon ASIN = B0BJV88NRL) using the ISO OPNsense-22.7-OpenSSL-vga-amd64.img  - - the DVD iso will not pass the Rufus scan.

This is the first time I am trying this, every video I have seen shoots right past this line to the installation. The bios is not highly configurable

Help??
