You cannot flash pfSense there.

@amfcandeias:

Hi Gertjan,
But i could install the file manager with no problem.. The DNS is configured, i can ping www.google.pt
I install the 32bits because first i install 64 bits version and i have the same problem and i read that is a problem on 64 bits and squid…
Do you think it's better the 64 bits? I'm usine sphere..
On the dns i configured 192.168.20.1 , 192.168.20.2 but on the main page appear that the dns servers are 127.0.0.1 , 192.168.20.2 and 192.168.20.1 .
It's possible to remove the 127.0.0.1 ?

Thanks

I had exactly the same issue with 127.0.0.1 DNS address. I'm new to pfSense and this is my first test install of 2.2.4-RELEASE (Jul 25th 2015).

First thing I noticed in Status: Dashboard - Version that new releases couldn't be checked. Also package installs failed to download problem. However, from SSH shell fetch was working ok.

With Diagnostics: DNS Lookup I could see that files.pfsense.org would not resolve on 127.0.0.1, but only other DNS servers below. Apparently package installer does not use more than one DNS.

So by disabling Services: DNS Resolver for now I could succeed with package installations. Hope this will help other newbies to get started.

Thanks, but I had seen all of those links already.

I already did "dd" earlier, to completely clear the drive, so it wasn't a partitioning or GPT issue, or something left over from a previous installation.

There's no SATA or AHCI options to set in the "BIOS" of the Soekris.  I think BSD is detecting the drives just fine, though, because they're all there, and the dd command completes without errors.  It honestly looks like some kind of scripting bug when it tries to do the partitioning.

I found a workaround, though.

Run the entire system from an external USB stick!  That's what I'm doing now.  The 4g-i386-nanobsd image works fine.

Sorry ;-)

Anyhow, I fixed it by using a x64 machine. In other words:

Get the backup from the original, rename Interfaces in the XML File to different hardware and then restore it.

Thanks for your help!

That makes it fail the DNS rebinding and/or HTTP REFERER checks, where the hostname you're using isn't the hostname configured on the system. Either change it under System>General Setup, or add an alternate hostname under System>Advanced.

Supported != manual hack that can break any time.

Rather than re-configure the chassis -as in, installing the previous unit's hardware - the suggestion was to edit the config file directly so that LAN, WAN and DMZ (if any) assignments would be correctly mapped to the corresponding network cards on the new unit.

Also works here, Ubuntu + latest FF.

The only way I could get it working was to install 2.1.5 and then do an upgrade to 2.2.4.
(I don't see 2.1.5 in the download list anymore.)
There is something with the disk layout that conflicts with the 6501 bios boot and I haven't seen any solution.

@heliop100:

….
Any idea?

Your partition is read only ?

@Derelict:

Nope.  Upgrading in the first place will clobber most of that anyway.  Pretty much on you to have a log of the out-of-gui changes you have made so you can duplicate them on a reinstall.

Yup, fair enough for the cowboy that goes off-road, such as myself. I wanted to see if I could salvage the situation without blowing the escape hatch, it's been a couple days, so far so good. :)

This question would be better posed in the Cache/Proxy forum.

When you make any changes to squidGuard, you MUST click the Save button and then go back to the General Settings tab and click the Apply button.

@robi:

What kind of NICs are there, having such problems?

It's an APU1D box with the Realtek 8111E GB interfaces.
The unit is connected to a Cisco 2960 (trunk-only port). I maxed out at 85 MBps on a 100 MBps Internet line before changing the MTU - then I got 98 MBps throughput without changing anything else, leading me to suspect MTU problems due to the VLAN tags.

What a relief!
Now I know I'm not the only idiot in this world.  :o

've burnt an Advantech AIMB-272 pretty much the same way  ::)
And yes, it's fun to make custom cases with dremels and flexes…
