Install 2.3.1 hangs - UHUB0 usbus0

mprog

Trying to install the latest 2.3.1 onto an older HP DL360 but it keeps hanging at a line which mentions

UHUB0 root HUB usbus0

Sorry I can't be more specific, it's hard to get the error.

Might anyone have some thoughts? I've tried disabling ACPI but not sure what else to try.

same problem here, trying to install on my remote datacenter

on vmware esxi 6.0 and hyper-v 2012 R1 works fine

mprog

In my case, I've no need for anything special, no serial ports, no USB, nothing but the machine and its two NICs.

anyone?

@mprog, how did you disable ACPI ?

Disabling ACPI is no longer valid advice unless we're talking about hardware from '90s or very early 2000s. Modern hardware needs ACPI and performs very badly with ACPI disabled.

A quick Google search found this:

I have a tip that should allow gathering more info:

Boot the system
Press ESC while on "Welcome to pfSense" boot screen
Type "boot -v" and hit ENTER

– See attached picture --

When it hangs, take a screenshot (if you can) and post it.

I´ve taken a photo from the console

here it is… hangs on this last line (first reboot after a fresh install)

Now try booting the system with the following commands:

set hint.ata.0.disabled=1
set hint.ata.1.disabled=1
boot -v

Then add to /boot/device.hints:

hint.ata.0.disabled="1"
hint.ata.1.disabled="1"

Hopefully, it does work now.

The server I've been using for the longest time is an HP DL360 dual XEON, 4GB machine. Mainly because I have a stack of them left over from projects long ago. these are era 2008 or so.

Anyhow, I've tried your suggestion but for what ever reason, I can't get to the prompt to enter the commands and had to give up. I'm back to 2.0 release at this point and will install onto a newer server then migrate from the HP to the new one.

Thanks for all the help.

didn't work for me… but thanks anyway.

confirmed with my datacenter support, they are running QEMU with IP KVM for managing console through user portal
