21.1 Legacy Series / [SOLVED] OPNsense 21.1 hanging at /boot/defaults/loader.conf
« on: April 05, 2021, 09:47:25 pm »
Hi all,
I've encountered a similar issue as described in this forum post: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=15221.0
I'm trying to install OPNsense 21.1 (serial image) (for the first time - new user) on a Netgate SG-2440 which is Intel Atom C2358 based using an ADI based board and firmware/BIOS. I can't past the "Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf" message - the spinner just stops.
Since this looks to be hanging on the stage2 boot sequence I've been looking to see what debug is available (https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/boot-introduction.html).
I've also been checking to ensure the serial configuration is correct (https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html).
I've been trying loads of different combinations of console="comconsole" and setting the rate to 115200 but I don't know if this is actually the problem since I can get to this screen - I'd assume serial comms are fine:
I've also tried the kern.vty="vt" / kern.vty="sc" change that was mentioned in the other forum post but no success.
There was one combination of options I tried that did get me once to the main menu to boot the kernel but when I tried it said "can't load 'kernel'; I've no idea what's happening here.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or suggest how I can get more debug?
Thanks.
