        You reach the login prompt at the gui?

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

          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:

                      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.
