Thank you so much. This fixed my problem. Still not sure why one machine worked with it checked and the other didnt. Same machines. Oh well. Thanks again

I'm new to all sense lol. Ive got opnsense running fine on another machine of mine which is handling my entire home network. Installed and configured without a hitch. This one just for some reason doesnt want to display anything. Ive checked the logs and nothing is shown in there. Primary console is set to VGA console and secondary console is set to EFI console and still nothing shows on the VGA output monitor.

23.7 Legacy Series / Fresh install of OpnSense doesnt show video output via VGA after Kernel Load

« on: November 06, 2023, 07:23:03 am »

I've got two DFA-RS31 Series rack mounted network firewall machines that I've installed opnsense 23.7 on. One works perfectly fine and the other installs fine but when I reboot, it starts the initial kernel load then the screen goes blank. Opnsense still boots up fully and I can access the dashboard via LAN but the VGA output is blank. I've tried the command "set kern.vty=sc" and "set kern.vty=vt". The first command worked but not persistently. The second did nothing. I added set kern.vty=sc to the loader.conf.local file and rebooted and it didnt hold persistence. I've also tried installing 22.7 and it still did the same thing. I've looked all over the web trying to find a solution and nothing has worked as a permanent solutions thus far. Only difference between the working machine and the one with no VGA output is the brand of the mSata and ram stick. Thats it. I highly doubt either of those would cause this issue. If anyone is able to give me any insight or possible solution it would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

P.S.: If you need any specific information from me, feel free to ask.
