        There isn't much to work with.

        I suggest you upgrade to a recent 1.2.1 snapshot build. If that works then please report that it works. If it doesn't work then see if you can give more details of what is appearing on the screen. If the screen is being continually updated so you can't read the screen then try to get a few photos of the screen with a digital camera. If you can't make out anything sensible in the photos then post one here anyway. If you can make out something sensible (for example, clearly readable text) then post one of the photos here. Depending on what we see we may ask for more photos.

        If for some reason you are reluctant to try a 1.2.1 snapshot then please try the suggestions about screen photos.

            Do you have raid enabled, or any devices requiring nonstandard drivers?

                You might try disabling raid.

                  @thekod:

                  You might try disabling raid.

                  That would be disabling raid in the BIOS?

                  Would it be necessary to reinstall AFTER raid has been disabled?

                    Yes, and it's possible, but I doubt it.

                        Disable raid in the bios, then boot off the live cd, then install pfsense, then remove the cd, then reboot, then tell us what happens when you boot.
