I've been running into some trouble updating a few routers and they all give me this:

General Discussion / Issue installing Opnsense/ CRON service failing

« on: May 31, 2023, 08:52:50 pm »

Hello I'm fairly new to OPNsense, I've successfully configured and deployed a half dozen units without much difficulty, but I recently ran into an installation issue that's been very challenging.

Whenever I attempt an installation via/ USB the installer fails to autoboot and several services, such as CRON, fail to start. I'm not sure why this is occurring with my hardware as a previous installations did not encounter this issue on identical hardware. These issues persist after installation.

If anyone can provide insight and/or solutions it would be greatly appreciated.
