i tried to install clean 2.7.2 then updated to 2.8.0 and during boot chose kernel.old
it started booting and updating to 2.8 (as mentioned before) but after reboot it's still stuck on the same spot, rebooting. so didn't help in my case

Your NDI will have changed if you replaced the hardware. Send me your NDI and the order number in chat and I'll check it.

Hmm, not sure what you're showing here?

The upgrade from 2.7.2 uses the same pkg repos the Net Installer does.

Huh. Well that would not be anything I'd have suspected! Let us know if that allows it to run the installer.

Same problem with APU2C4.
Fresh installed 2.8 no packages installed.
Also tested 2.7.2 with update to 2.8, always the same message after rebooting.
Setting and deleting traffic shaping doesn‘t help.

Post was deleted, I guess they solved the problem.

Thanks for the guidance Stephen. I’ll give that a try.

Did you try installing FreeBSD 15 to check for some upstream issue?

Indeed, where is it failing for you? What hardware are you running on?

Yup a clean install and restore will always work. Having that prepared and available is always a good idea.

@Finger79 I reinstall from scratch using 2.8 after disabling WIFI in the BIOS. Hopefully the bug is fixed in the near future.

Yup that^. Enable the CE repos in the first install step.

Or if you send me your NDI in chat I can remove it from the list. That would be permanent though.

@Finger79 said in Is GELI FDE option not part of the Netgate Installer 1.0RC?:

Hope that helps. But yeah, in the future I'll also have more VPNs set up, and I'd like those private keys protected.

In a business or enterprise environment, there is much more robust physical security. In a residential setting with people who help themselves to my personal belongings (and then lie about it), my trust can't be that high, so I have to control the things within my control until I can move out to safer pastures.

OK, I understand. 👍 Sorry!
