Having problem installing the installer is not working

[franco]

Are you able to make these changes to /usr/libexec/bsdinstall/opnsense.subr

https://github.com/opnsense/installer/commit/4ca6b0976fe

And get the contents of /tmp/bsdinstall_log ?


Thanks,
Franco

No problem,

same error pattern. Here is the log.

Greeting Meditux

Thanks a lot! This will avoid touching tty devices:

But does it work? :)

Moment Please

[franco]

Need the logs...


Thanks,
Franco

[Meditux]

With the customization it works, only unfortunately you can only choose the USB installation stick (souce) as destination. The installed SSD is only selectable as a target when you drag the installation stick.

Here are the current logs

Thanks, looks like a typo:

The drive selection now works, however there is a new problem. (The partition editor run failed)

Again with new logs ;-)

Hmm, "scriptedpart" is a FreeBSD installer builtin. I suppose the disk already holds another GPT installation of some kind?

It's worth a try to completely clear the GPT area of the disk:

# gpart destroy -F ada0

This is actually a new SSD from Distributor.

Using SSH as root I get the following output:

root@OPNsense:~ # gpart destroy -F ada0
gpart: Cannot access library: Device not configured
root@OPNsense:~ #

Here my modified opnsense.subr, not that I mistyped somewhere ;-)

[franco]

Phew, unfortunately scriptedpart is a binary and debugging is not easy. :(

So does the ZFS install work instead? And if yes, does the UFS install work afterwards?


Cheers,
Franco

[Meditux]

ZFS works. UFS in the connection also, however, I think that it was not on the SSD, but on the fact that is in between the USB stick for installation once pulled.

At the current attempt have rebooted from stick and then copied the customized file in the RAM disk.

When installing on UFS process runs visually from the menu. Does not look great but works ;-)

Greetings and thanks Meditux

[franco]

Would you mind sending me that in German... I think I am a bit lost in the translation. :)


Danke,
Franco

I'm also stuck (1 hour and nothing happens) just after selecting UFS installation, what should I do?

Tia.
