no concole menu after bootup

[Free_Norway]

Hi

After updating to 16.7.11_1 i lock me out of the my opnsense box.
When i tried to login through the console menu i noticed its not visible anymore.
I restarted the box and after the bootup the only thing that is visible is welcome menu and the interface list.
The only keyboard input that works is ctrl+alt+del which triggers a shutdown.

Is this supposed to be like this/are there new settings too enable the menu?

Can you reach the WebGUI? You probably have to set a Primary Console under System: Settings: Administration.

Hi
Thanks for the quick answer.
I couldn't reach the Gui, but i solved it in another way.
Rebooting the box without the WAN and LAN cable connected booted the box correctly and by inserting the LAN cable afterwards is was able to login to the Gui.
Disabling Suricata brought the box back to normal behaviour. 
Does anybody know if the suricata guide in the docu is updated for the new version?

Now to the console menu
By setting the VGA to second console the menu is back, but i don't se the complete bootup anymore. I use the uefi bootup option, do i have to set the efi console as first option?

That sounds like odd behavior to me, booting without cables then plugging them in to reach the system.

No clue on Suricata documentation, but I would think the basics stay the same?

Why secondary console and not primary console? I would think the primary console is the one you see when booting?
I'm running a VM and haven't set secondary console at all.
EFI for primary console sounds alright in your case. Otherwise simply VGA should do it.

I had the serial console as primary since that's the one i'am using from other places then the serverrack.
I will try to enable suricata again when I have a little more time.
