APU2 boot fail (Resolved)
-
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?
-
No it was a 16gb msata SSD that came from pcengines
-
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.
