Strange problem about stuck at booting

[dreamerman]

I managed to get latest and updated v19.1.5 working. My dashboard GUI looks fine and works but the console is showing something different - see pic. Looks like it is still stuck at booting. I can restart console via GUI but each time it is still stuck at booting. Is that normal? If not I won't "roll out into production" even though it is only for home network.

can you switch your system to UEFI boot?  That fixed it for me.

Thanks, I tried UEFI but it won't even boot. In BIOS it is set as LEGACY.

[lrosenman]

Change the BIOS to UEFI.

and possibly(!) reinstall via UEFI boot so it makes the EFI partition(s).

Did that and that including MBR and GPT as well.

Set primary console to EFI, no secondary console? System: Settings: Administration.

Is that Console Redirection under advance settings?

Section "Console", vt driver should be enabled, primary to "EFI Console", secondard to "None".

Franco, I looked at all the options but there are no EFI CONSOLE.

[dreamerman]

Franco, this is another console option.

May be Franco mean that console:

What OPNsense installer image are you using?
VGA or Serial?

Antares is right, I meant the GUI....
