17.1 Legacy Series / Fans always on high

« on: March 13, 2017, 02:52:25 am »

I gave up trying to install or upgrade to 17.1 on my late-2009 core 2 duo Mac Mini and now have it running on an HP Compaq dc5800 (also core 2 duo).  There are two fans on this computer, and they're both running at top speed.  Is there any way to activate automatic fan control?

17.1 Legacy Series / Failed upgrade on Mac Mini

« on: February 12, 2017, 04:51:17 pm »

I've been running OPNsense on an Apple Mac Mini 3,1 (Late 2009 / A1283) since version 15.  Yesterday I followed the instructions on the GUI update screen: I went to console, logged in as root, selected #12, typed 17.1, and hit [RETURN].

The computer downloaded some files and rebooted...to a black screen.  Nothing.  I waited 15 minutes and then force-rebooted to a black screen.  (A friend told me his upgrade process took about 2 minutes.)

So I reinstalled 16.x from CD, ran #12 a couple of times until I got the 17.1 prompt again.  Typed 17.1 again and [RETURN].  This time I get video, but the boot sequence crashes.  Here's a pic:

Am I doing something wrong?  Should I download the 17.1 image and install from that instead?
