        Skip USB. (Some) APU2's have issues with it.
        Looking at your firmware, you should be successfull with booting from SD or mSata.
        Best like install a mSata, prepare a SD with writing a pfSense-image on it.
        Boot. Install to mSata.

          I just set up my APU2C4 today and it would not install from the USB 3 port. It would boot from USB but it wouldn't finish the install.  I had to hook up a usb 2 dongle to the internal USB header and boot from it to complete the installation to the msata drive.

          Either figure out a way to boot from usb2 or do as @hda has suggested and get a msata drive. They're cheap for a small one.

            This is an existing firewall which stopped working.  Not a new install.

              Best guess, unless someone has a bit more knowledge, is your boot device is corrupt. I hope you have your config backed up.

                Well there's nothing to debug here, do a new install. It won't boot without kernel.

                  Yes was corrupt.  Used this (http://www.ufsexplorer.com/) to browse the card but just garbage.  Replaced for now.  Had so many issues with the APU2.  Nervous about using this device!

                    So you had a compact flash card die? With the price of SSD's so low why would you bother with compact flash?

                        How long was it in service and did you have TRIM enabled?

                          Yes I had trim enabled.  In-service for about six months.

                            That was the one sold by PC Engines? The initial revisions were completely broken.

                              Yes pcengines.  Think I will be moving to supermicro platform.  All my supermicro systems have had zero failures.

                                I meant the SSD… Supermicro won't exactly help with a faulty SSD.

                                  ok.  Maybe my issue that pfsense support though was the MB of the pcengines was really the ssd? or maybe both for this system.
