      Hi everyone, my first post on this forum and I am a newbie to Pfsense.

      I am trying to run Pfsense 2.6 on an Asus Chromebox 2 running FW:MrChromebox-4.14

      Pfsense starts to install and then freezez on

      Masks 0x00FF0000 etc

      Any help would be really appreciated and remember I am new at this

      thanks

        @makdonalds doesn't seem like a device you want to install pfsense on - does it even have 1 ethernet port?

          @johnpoz yes mate it has one onboard gigabit port and I have a second usb3 gigabit port

          I have narrowed the problem down to the FW and I will try to downgrade FW to 4.10

            @makdonalds Most likely the Chromebox has the arm processor which the CE is not compatible, isn't it?

              @makdonalds said in Pfsense 2.6 on Asus Chromebox 2 problem:

              FW:MrChromebox-4.14

              If it's running that (Coreboot) it's x86.

              The error sounds similar to some other UEFI console issues we've seen.
