Сannot verify the eligibility of system on VirtualBox
-
@stephenw10 maybe I can look in some log files what went wrong?
-
So from that prompt, after exiting the installer, you can ping ews.netgate.com?
You can check the log in: /tmp/bsdinstall_log
-
@stephenw10 I pinged 8.8.8.8 and ews.netgate.com, everything is successfull. Here is a screen:
Then, I check /tmp/bsdinstall_log, but didn't find any errors (I don't know how to get file from VM, so I attached screens))))
-
Hmm, nothing looks like an issue there. Can you get a screenshot of the actual error? Maybe also a shot of the previous screen so we can see exactly where it fails.
-
@stephenw10 Yes, I attach a screenshot of the error and the entire flow of settings, it's just that I didn't change anything at all, I got acquainted with all the parameters and they seem to fit. There is no error when comparing WAN and LAN to MAC addresses, I double-checked it - in the settings of the virtual machine, there is also a screenshot
-
Hmm, nothing there looks like a problem. It's an odd error though. It would usually return 'unable to connect to Netgate servers'.
-
I've replicated this. Digging into it.....
-
@stephenw10 Thank you very much! I don't know what to think either...
-
Yup, it seems like a bug. Developers are aware.
-
@stephenw10 Ahaha, I'm lucky) It turns out that I'll need to download a new version later, right? And when will it be fixed?)
-
Yes, it should be either fixed or possible to work past in the next version.
-
@stephenw10 Thank you very much!)
-
@stephenw10 I am facing the same problem. Pinging is working fine, the setup is the same as @C0ffee_39 and the error is the same as well "Cannot verify the eligibility ..." Are there any updates on this issue?
-
You're using the beta7 installer?
-
@stephenw10 - I've got the same issue here. Is there a way we can download a previous version of pfSense?
Happy to provide any additional information that would help with the resolution of this issue.
-
You can still use the legacy installers for CE.

beta7 installer
I'm using the Netgate installer here https://shop.netgate.com/products/netgate-installer
with the installation image set to AMD64 ISO IPMI/Virtual Machines -
Thank you very much @stephenw10

How is the VM configured you're trying to install on? Drive type etc?
What VBox version?
Does it succeed if you warm reboot and try again?
The issue we hit with this before was that the VM cold boots with no system time and then updates it with ntp during the installer process. -
Hi,
I ran into the same problem on a Mac running VMWare Fusion with Installer beta7. WAN network interface has direct access to the Mac network card, LAN is a private vmware network on the machine. Installation went through after I didn´t setup the LAN interface during the installation. The installer told me that it will only setup a WAN interface but no LAN. To my surprise after the first boot the LAN interface was configured with the pfsense default settings a.k.a. IP 192.168.1.1 and so on.
Hope that helps and thanks for all your great work!Mike
