pfsense installation with hardware RAID

stephenw10

Is it booting uefi? You could be hitting this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15083

Though I'd expect it to still boot wit the just the first disk present if so.

@stephenw10 few captures below.

Hmm, the 2nd shot there is with the primary drive I assume?

ozlecz

@stephenw10 actually its mixed up...maybe 1 of those were taken when the bios is set to RAID sir

stephenw10

Ah probably need to see exactly how it's failing in each situation then. But since you are booting EFI t probably will need the manual workaround listed in that bug.

@stephenw10 i was able to duplicate the bug

stephenw10

Yup so it can't mount the efi partition on the secondary. Try running the workaround shown on the bug report to populate it.

@stephenw10 does this mean disabling the EFI boot in bios should sove this issue as well?

stephenw10

Yes if you boot legacy that does not hit that bug.

@stephenw10 thank you very much on this...issue solved.
