HP T610 Dual Core (boot issue when install)

gordon

I have restored the pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.4-RELEASE-p3-amd64.img to a USB stick and booting, I have not modified anything.

Was I understanding your question correct?

Thank you.

Hmm, might be incompatible graphics. Try setting at the loading prompt:
set kern.vty=sc

Have tried that now, then I got these and it`s not going further?

Looks like these is the way around:

Thank you all for taking time to help me.

Can you choose to boot legacy or UEFI in the BIOS or boot device selector?

Looks like it's booting EFI there so try booting legacy if you can. That must be quite an early UEFI BIOS, might have some buggy parts.

I`m runing the latest pfsense version now, the link I posted above is a walk around way who works.

Ah, by installing 2.3.5 and upgrading?

Yeah if that works for you that's fine.

Yes, I made it by doing like that :)

I am having the same issue installing 2.4.4_p3 on an HP t610. I chose safe mode and it installs however even after reboot it still hangs at ACPI0: <HPWOEM SLIC-BPC> on motherboard.

I found a possible work around that allows pfsense to boot without user interaction but it is not ideal.

I had to edit /boot/loader.conf by adding the following line.
"kern.smp.disabled=1"

@scoobey I forgot to add that after the install it hangs at the ACPI0: as well. I have manually choose safe mode from the boot menu to get it to boot completely.
