Hardware and Performance / Re: [HOWTO] Installing 17.7 (and probably above) on APU2/APU3 boards & SD card
« on: April 01, 2018, 04:34:32 pm »
In my case, on an APU board, the initial boot after "dd"-ing the nano image to the SD card worked fine. I had it running for a few weeks but encountered a problem that I figured a reboot might solve. It didn't boot. Attaching a serial cable would display messages about USB transmission failing, and some timeouts (I don't have the exact messages any more).

Initially I thought it was related to the bootdelay, so I tried installing the package to add that after a fresh install but the same problem happened. The only results I found when searching seemed to suggest bootdelay or AHCI related issues - I actually only found this thread after it was mentioned on Twitter!

A friend suggested using the installer rather than "dd"-ing the image.

What I did was similar to ktk, with a few slight differences:
1. Blank the SD card first (dd from /dev/zero to it) - installation failed when I didn't do this
2. "dd" the nano image onto a USB stick
3. Attach serial cable
4. Insert USB stick and boot up
5. Log in as the root user and go to the shell
6. Run "opnsense-installer"
7. Proceed with the installation (guided with GPT/UEFI)
8. After installation, remove USB stick and reboot

As an extra precaution, after I'd verified that it booted correctly I shut down, took out the card and used "dd" to make an image of the working SD card (compressing it after). I'm also making sure I periodically back up the settings now!

18.1 Legacy Series / Re: Still having the ehci_wait_td:517 error from second boot onwards

How did you install the image? I had the same kind of problem after first reboot when I "dd" the nano image directly to an SD card. Every time I re-copied the image to the SD card, it would fail after first reboot. I'd also tried adding a boot delay etc.

In the end I put the nano image on a USB stick using the same method, and used opnsense-installer from the shell to install it onto the SD card. Similar to the methods here (which I'm about to add to):
