      Hi everyone , i am dealing with a little problem by trying to install pfsense from livecd .
      Everything works fine until i get this error :

      error  5 unretryable error
      cddone : got error 0x5 back
      read(10) cdb:2800 00 02 4d f3 00 00 01 00
      cam status : scsi status error
      scsi status : check condition
      scsi sense : medium error asc:11,5 (L-EC uncorrectable error)

      I am installing from an USB CD drive , and all cds i already have burned with different iso downloaded from multiple versions lead to this error .

      Is this some bios setting that must be changed ?
      My HDD is IDE and i am installing on a mini itx board with an AMD athlon processor .

        Looks like a hardware issue. Have you tried using a different USB port, or a different CD/DVD drive?

        It also looks like you have a problem with your carriage return key…

          My usb cd is a slim model  , i did not try any other yet , but i was installing ipfire software with it and it worked fine .
          But i want Pfsense instead because i am already use to it in one watchguard i have here .

            Problem solved , i had to install livecd version 2.1.1 .
            I also try 2.1.6 livecd version with a different cd player without success .

                I am already at version 2.2.6  , after installing 2.1.1 version and configuring everything , i invoked the auto upgrade and pfsense auto upgraded itself to latest version .

                this was an "old" mini itx board i had here , i choose this board because already came with 2 gigabit ethernet ports .

                This board is a jetway NC-81-LF

                However , i will still change the case of this "firewall" , the current case in the pictures was just for testing and configuring it .
