18.1 Legacy Series / Re: Booting issue on a HP T610 thin client [SOLVED]
« on: December 18, 2018, 08:58:53 am »
Hi everyone,
First of all say that I'm a newbie and I'm on my first opnsense/freebsd install, but as I was able to solve the issue I thought it was a good way to share with all of you.
I have also a HP thin Client 610 plus and I'm installing opnsense on it, I want 64bit with 8Gb.
When I start installing it I got the same error that appear here (is how I found this post). Initially I use the "safe mode" trick to be able to start the machine, but with only one core I was no happy. After reading some other post with similar errors (like disable acpi.... DON'T DO IT...), I start playing around with diferent option on the HP BIOS, and finally found the way to start 64 bits opnsense without any special configuration at boot level.
At HP BIOS, on boot order, we only have to disable all devices under EFI and use instead Legacy, and it works perfectly. I have to disabble it two times, the fisrt time when I boot the installer via USB and a second time on the first boot after the install. I don't know why, the the EFI mode was enable again on the SSD that I install opnsense.
Wish this help someone.
