      Hi
      I am trying to install v2 RC1 on a Dell PowerEdge R210. During the boot process of the Live installer I get "cannot open /dev/ukbd0" and the machine hangs.
      This server was previously running v.1.2.3

      Have tried swapping keyboards but still no luck.

      Any suggestions?

      thanks
      Gordon

      If I fix one more thing than I break in a day, it's a good day!

        Hi Gob…
        My similar problem.
        With older config don't appear.
        1 config : R310 + 1 dual port intel gigabit + perc h 200 with snapshot of June 14 2011 and destination disk : cruzer blade usb pendrive - this work but onboard broadcom disabled

        2 config  : R310 + perc6ir onboard and destination disk : raid1 with perc - tis don't work

        My think is “dell Perc 6ir”

        The freebsd 8.2 hardware support is very bad !!!
        Now try with perc h700...

          Gob,,
          I have a lot of R210 running Pfsense.
          It's happen for me a few times before also setup hang at 38% on some of them
          .
          It can be bios version, bios setting or even something on the drive.
          If you have another R210 give it a try on other hardware and it will probably work.
          After that you can move the drive to this machine.
          Keep us posted.

          Good luck.

              Ok, update !
              Now my R310 work perfectly with 2.0 RC1 and update to the latest snapshot.

              My simple workaround :
              Open Bios setting and disable all onboard Nics (and remove any pci ethernet card)
              Boot with pfsense cd and install this perfectly.
              Shutdown, reactivate any nic and reboot.
              All works !
              The Issue is caused by ethernet nic configuration.
              Please send a feedback !
