    Hmm, interesting place to fail!

    That's booting the installer? Not the first boot after install?

    And still using the VGA console?

        If you're still using the VGA console then use the normal memstick image you were using originally.

        Stopping at the Amnesiac prompt like that implies incomplete boot. The first thing I would try is rewriting the install image to a new memstick.

            You reach the login prompt at the gui?

            It is booting fully to the console menu at the console?

              yes

              It is booting fully to the console menu at the console?

              yes

              login-to-view

              Another thing that's a bit strange
              The system keeps detecting the mouse as if it's disconnecting and reconnecting

                @firefox did you have a look at the video I pasted the link. The guy made some changes to the BIOS setting (around 7:14 in the video), not sure it is related.

                  You should be able to login as admin / pfsense then. Check your browser isn't doing something odd.

                  Why do you have a mouse connected at all?

                    I tried with three browsers and the same thing happens.
                    The device is connected to kvm because of the installation

                      @firefox Can you post a screenshot of the login screen where you try to login. And how are you connected to the XG 115?

                        i just try it again after computer restart
                        and it worked

                        now i go in the gui

                        will try to Migrate everything from the old system to the new one
                        Hope this works

                        Is this device powerful enough to run the pfsense packages?

                          @firefox said in install pfsense on sophos xg 115 rev 2:

                          Is this device powerful enough to run the pfsense packages?

                          What packages did you use before? It won't do IDS and I'm not sure what max download/upload speed you'll get (if the below CPU infos are correct)

                          According to a Sophos datasheet (PDF), it's an "Intel Atom Baytrail Dual Core (1.75 GHz)", asking the internet it tells me "Intel Atom Processor E3827" fits that metric.

                          And according to cpubenchmark.net it got a CPU score of 480 and that is pretty weak

                            It will run packages sure. But, yes, you may hit the limitations of the CPU pretty quickly if you're just enabling everything. 4GB RAM gives you some headroom though so larger lists shouldn't be a problem.
