Problems installing OPNsense 19.1 on Qotom

[votan]

I am trying to install OPNsense 19.1 on a Qotom Q355G4 (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Qotom-Mini-PC-Core-i3-i5-i7-with-4-Gigabit-Ethernet-NIC-Pfsense-AES-NI-Fiewwall/32863060778.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.2.6a1734a2C1dvcr&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_9_10065_10068_319_10059_10884_317_10887_10696_321_322_10084_453_10083_454_10103_10618_10307_537_536_10902_10134,searchweb201603_60,ppcSwitch_0&algo_expid=90768865-fccc-4504-b81d-530da2c5ad6f-0&algo_pvid=90768865-fccc-4504-b81d-530da2c5ad6f&transAbTest=ae803_3 respectively http://www.qotom.net/

As an image, I use "AMD64" / "VGA" which I write on an USB stick via dd

I manage to boot from the USB, yet I get a kernel panic:
Message: "the secondary GPT header is not in the last LBA"
"Failed to map the main stack"
"init died (signal 6, exit 0) panic: Going nowhere without my init!"

Can anyone help?

1. Do I use the right imate?
2. I try to boot from USB, the aim is to then install it on the hard disk. Is this the right approach?
3. Any insight that is specific to Qotom? Anyone has this up and running?

Yours

hi.

Did you resolve it?

I have 2 of these at different locations both on 19.1
I use rufus to create the image on my USB stick etc

SOLVED

I received my hardware with another OS pre-installed, and somehow the partition table got messed up with.
This post solved the problem (which is not an OPNsense problem, but an OS problem):
