20.1 Legacy Series / Live Boot Hanging During Install
« on: April 12, 2020, 02:29:41 am »
Friend of mine and I are having the same issue with our installation of OPNsense. We have identical hardware and have been trying to figure this out for a few days to no avail.
The installer consistently hangs on "Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/OPNsense_Install [ro,noatime]..."
I've also had the error: GEOM: diskid/disk [diskID here]: the secondary GPT header is not in the last LBA"
Hardware specs:
AMD Athlon 2 X4 935
Biostar A760g m2+
4gb RAM
HD 6450
Intel EXPI9404PTLBLK NIC
Things we've tried so far include:
-Different Flash software to write the USB sticks
-Different USB drives (verified that this will install on newer hardware)
-Installed FreeBSD 11.2 and bootstrapped the install from github - same error when mounting root drive
-Boot and open terminal to add "set kern.vty=sc" as well as "set hw.vga.acpi._ignore_no_vga="1""
-Ran it in serial console to see if it was actually installing in the background but not updating the VGA screen
-Edited the GPT checksum on the disk with HxD
-Reconfigured the partition to MBR
Tried every installer, including the Nano version, .iso, .img -- haven't tried i386 though...
-Changed every BIOS setting
MOBO is updated to latest BIOS. We can get freeBSD to install and boot, so it's not the problem. Something with OPNsense just isn't playing right. Any help is greatly appreciated!
