General Discussion / Re: OPNsense on Netgate SG-2220
« on: January 22, 2021, 09:04:29 pm »
I just tried to install OPNsense 20.7 on Netgate SG-2220. It stalls on installation on the serial console. Funny thing is that also the pfsense 2.4.5x stock download also has troubles on the installation and stalls on the serial console. Come to find out that it's required to make a special request to Netgate to get an ADI pfsense image that allows a clean serial installation of pfsense. Read somewhere that the Intel Atom used has some bugs that needs a workaround. In other words the Netgate SG-2220 is proprietary and requires a proprietary image.
I'm bummed but I successfully have migrated my two router/firewall setup to two PCEngines APU2 boxes and successfully migrated all of my previous configurations. Success ! Unfortunately, I cannot transition my SG-2220 from pfsense to OPNsense. Bummer as I have a mSATA drive and a 802.11n WiFi mPCIe installed. Should probably sell it.
