      Hi,

      I have installed Pfsense 2.4.4-p3 and all goes smooth. But at the last step. "reboot"
      The machine dont wanna boot. just freezes after the check for harddisk.

      If i remove the disk it can boot normally, but when the disk connected it freezes.
      I have tried two diffrent disk now and i dont think its the disk itself, more like the installation of Pfsense that makes this.

      In the installation wizard i pressed "Auto" and then MBR, the default one.

      Have someone an idea what i can be?

      Motherboard: MSI K8N SLI Platinium
      Processor: AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+
      Ram: 2gb.

      Thanks in advanced.
      Anders

        That is the correct setup for that board which I don't believe has UEFI BIOS.

        I would check the SATA mode.
