15.7 Legacy Series / Clean install, computer just reboots.
« on: August 20, 2015, 07:56:09 am »
Hello,
I have a Pentium 4 560 (3.6 GHz, HyperThreading) in a computer with 2 GB of RAM and two Intel GB NICs -- one PCI and one PCIe. This machine is to serve as the router for my home network.
I ran a 15.1 version of OpnSense on it originally. That was installed on a CF card via a CF to IDE adapter. That was very, very slow, though, and I was having problems with an update. I have replaced that hard drive with a Western Digital Green drive that I had lying around. 1 TB, I think. (I know it's overkill, but it was literally laying around, haha. Maybe I'll try to figure out how to set up the other 999 GB as web space or a Samba share once I get everything working. :p
I have tried to do a clean install on this machine using the i386/VGA package with OpenSSL from a USB flash drive (the computer has no optical drive at the moment). The install went perfectly fine, but on reboot... it gets to the boot loader and shows "F1 OpnSense", but then the computer reboots after about 3 seconds; no other text is displayed on screen.
Any ideas where I can check to see why this might be happening? I can pull the hard drive and read log files off it, but I am still pretty new to BSD, so I would have no idea where to look.
Thanks in advance!
