Alix 2D13 - CF - can't load 'kernel'
-
How did you write the image to the card?
You might try the 2GB image instead.

Thanks for answer :)
My command is simple:
gzip -dc pfSense-2.1.5-RELEASE-4g-i386-nanobsd.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sdc bs=1MI will try whith 2G
-
I would run the 2GB image (or even 1Gb) anyway just because you're very unlikely to ever need the extra space and it writes much quicker. ;)
However I would try writing the image differently. Try a different block size if you're using dd, 1M seems way too big. Figures plucked from the docs wiki and forum indicate bs=16k is more suitable.https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=25413.msg132036#msg132036

What baud rate are you using on the serial console?
pfSense uses 9600 by default but I believe the ALIX tinycore bios uses something else.Steve
-
i have set 9600 on alix bios
-
Did you try the much smaller block size when flashing the card?
Steve
-
yes.
A have test 16k
same problem…. -
Hmm, your symptoms exactly match those that happen if you don't have the correct bios version but you already have 0.99h. :-
Has this board been running pfSense before?
It doesn't have any mini-PCI cards?Steve
-
Yes this alix has running pfsense whith hdd microdrive yet
-
news…
i have extract the same image pfSense-2.1.5-RELEASE-4g-i386-nanobsd.img
on hdd 2"5 whith the ide Sate adaptor...And it boot...
Why does not boot whith CF... -
It could be that your cf card presents some geometry that the bootloader handle.
You could try a 2.2beta snapshot. I'm not sure what might have changed in the bootloader but you may have more luck.Any suggestions from ALIX veterans?

Hello i have solve my problem…
i have simply change my CF Card Reader...Whith anoter card Reader, on the same CF , no problem...
Perhaps my old card reader has written bad blocks on CF

Ah. Hadn't considered that could be an issue. Thanks for coming back with that. :)
