Update or Fresh install of 25.07 causes HP ProLiant DL20 Gen9 to Reboot after PFSense Menu
-
It should work in UEFI mode and everything vaguely modern should be using that. But that confirms it's the same issue we're looking at and not something new.
-
@stephenw10 Sounds like at the moment, if you use an HP server in UEFI mode, don't update to the new release, or it's going to break.
I use a lot of HPE servers, so happy to test any possible fixes if desired. I will not update any more of my HP based PFsense installs til a fix is found..

version 25.07.01 does not work on HP systems either. crashes after boot menu

@WB3FFV I tried to update to 25.07.01, and it once again fails to boot
-
Yup, that looks like the same issue. Try booting legacy to confirm.
-
@stephenw10 I did update a system to the current version having loaded it as BIOS, and it was fine. Are you asking to take a UEFI loaded system, and just changing it from UEFI to BIOS and see what happens?
I didn't think I could just jump from one to the other. For sure this seems to affect all HPE systems that support UEFI..
-
@WB3FFV I didn't try to adjust the BIOS; perhaps I will try this next. I've never had to change the BIOS in the past.
-
pfSense can usually boot both unless it was installed a while ago (years). It should be pretty obvious if there's nothing bootable in legacy mode.
-
@stephenw10 I had to run out of two for a couple days to help someone, so I am happy to try when I return, or maybe one of the other HP owners on here will give it a whirl..
-
@WB3FFV I tried the new version, I had to reload from scratch, even the backup didn't work
