      The server does have all available windows updates installed.

      I made a fresh VM and tried the latest snapshot (20170202-1057), and it still does not see any disks to install onto. I have attached an export of the VM in case that is of any interest. The only changes made were increasing the ram to 2048, 2 cpu cores, and add an extra nic.

        Here is the thread where the updates were discussed: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=120101.0

        The symptoms are different, so it may not be the same issue.

          It works! slightly different symptoms, but same fix. Thanks for the help :)

          @dmds:

          On the installer boot prompt, select
          3. Escape to the loader prompt
          set hw.ata.disk_enable=1
          boot

          after installation do it again.

          after boot exit to shell with 8.
          ee /boot/loader.conf
          add the line
          hw.ata.disk_enable="1"

            Glad it worked. Lucky guess. I guess that answers the question of whether the fix for this issue has made it into pfsense. Apparently not.

              I see on redmine that this problem is marked as resolved, bug #6913. Should I resubmit this to redmine now that it appears to be an issue again?

                Well, it's strange that this issue was considered to be closed, but based on your experience, it appears not to be. It's probably a good idea to resubmit it.

                The freebsg bugzilla references two updates, KB3172614 and KB3179574. Which one did you deinstall? I deinstalled the first, but didn't have to deinstall the second.

                  I didn't uninstall any updates, just added hw.ata.disk_enable=1 and that made it work.

                    Well, based on that, it seems pretty clear the problem isn't fixed.
