[SOLVED] apu 2c4 : live boot from usb stick for fresh install crash

[dju]

Hello,
After a crash during the last upgrade, I thought my SD card was damaged.
With a new SD card I do the test directly from the iso file OPNsense-20.7-OpenSSL-serial-amd64.img and
I have the following crash (full boot logs attached).

Can you try to bring the BIOS up to date? Vaguely remember this being fixed...


Cheers,
Franco

I'm using the last one, I think.

PC Engines apu2
coreboot build 20203007
BIOS version v4.12.0.3
4080 MB ECC DRAM
SeaBIOS (version rel-1.12.1.3-0-g300e8b70)

Can you try the Nano image instead? Id doesn't have a direct installer, but when you log in as user "root" pw "opnsense" console option 8 and typing "opnsense-installer" is enough to get it running.


Cheers,
Franco

[dju]

thank you for the advice and for taking the time to answer me.
I'm gonna sleep few hours and then I'll do the test with the nano image.

for information before changing my sd card
when I thought my SD card was damaged with my first try to updating
I hadn't upgraded the bios.

PCEngines apu2
coreboot build 20160307
4080 MB ECC DRAM

SeaBIOS (version ?-20160307_153453-michael-desktop64)

with log boot errors

Might also be a new 20.7 (12.1) thing to be aware of. Not sure yet ;(

I did a boot test with the nano version OPNsense-20.7-OpenSSL-nano-amd64.img
There are the same concerns with the same errors.
I will stay on opnsense version 19.7 which works very well on my 2 apu2c pcengines.
I am waiting for 2 msata ssd cards to replace the SD cards.
I will do some tests again soon on my backup apu 2c.

Thanks again for the help

regards

I add the bot log of the OPNsense-20.7-OpenSSL-nano-amd64.img version as an attachment

[dju]

I just received my 128GB msata.
I replaced the 8G SD card with the msata card.
I boot on a usb key with the image with OPNsense-20.7-OpenSSL-serial-amd64

some errors but nothing blocking
no worries with opnsense-installer
I installed opnsense 20.7 on the 128 GB msata card.

conclusion
 on a PC-ENGINES-APU.2C4 opnsense 2.7
works by no longer using an sd card

problem solved

thank you all for your help

attached the live log boot without sd card

I have the same on an apu4d4 with a 16 GB mSATA card.

weird thing is the first time I installed it it worked fine, but due to another problem ( ) I had to start over and got this error.

Aborting the boot procedure in the menu and typing set kern.cam.boot_delay=10000 and then boot fixed it.

My Apu4d4 has the latest BIOS as of writing this.
