Firebox x1000 install hangs
-
Hi guys!
I am having a heck of a time to get pfsense on this thing. I have installed a video card into the PCI slot and connected a PS2 keyboard.
I am using the pfSense-2.0-RELEASE-2g-i386-nanobsd_vga.img.gz on a 2GB CF card and can get it to boot just fine but when I run it for the first time to set up PFsense It hangs with this error
"Ipsec: Initialized Security Association Processing."
Any ideas on what the problem might be?
FYI it also does this with a standard laptop drive and installing off of a CD drive.
Thanks!

Which VPN mini-PCI card do you have?
Most of these fireboxes have the Safenet 1141 card and that is recognised by FreeBSD (and hence pfSense) but some had a different type.
Try removing it.Steve

hey thanks for the response.
It does have the safenet card installed. I tried removing it and it still does the same thing ???

Hmm, I have never tried installing using a keyboard and video card myself, I've always just used the serial console.
It does seem that quite a few people are having a problem with the X-core firebox and pfSense 2.0 using the serial console though. See, here.
Perhaps your video card is causing a hardware conflict?To rule out any hardware problem you could try installing 1.2.3 using the serial console, which should work fine.
