New installation 21.1 stuck at booting

[extreme-80]

Hello everybody,
after several searches, i'm still zero, i can't install OPN on an HP Prodesk ... i always installed OPN without any problem, on every type of machine ... in this case i don't really understand what's wrong.

Here in the forum I found various posts with similar problems:

https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=20589.msg95790#msg95790
But even trying the various solutions indicated, nothing worked ... so I would like to talk to you, because at this point the problem is really out of my reach and I need a hand.

Obviously I have already tried to re-download the image, to use different USB sticks, but nothing helped.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? TNX!

Hi,

I'm not sure if this will help you or not but it was a real challenge for me. I use Oracle Virtual Box and after installing, OPNsense would always report running in CD run mode (no configuration changes are saved). I'd spend hours configuring and rebooting trying to correct the issue only to discover it was still running in CD run mode. This sounds similar to your issue but maybe not. I finally figured out to remove the .iso image from the Oracle Virtual Box Storage, Controller:IDE. CD. Sorry if this doesn't resolve your issue. If this doesn't resolve your issue, perhaps try creating a new message stating your issue differently so others will see 0 replies and try to assist.

Good day
Frank
