ReInstall Fails

Gemini2350

Hi All

I'm having trouble with reinstalling my pfsense SG1100.
Can someone help me?
When i run usbrecovery i only get:

Marvell>> run usbrecovery
switch to partitions #0, OK
mmc1(part 0) is current device

MMC erase: dev # 1, block # 0, count 4194304 ... 
>> FreeBSD EFI boot block
   Loader path: /boot/loader.efi

   Initializing modules: ZFS UFS
   Load Path: /\armada-3720-sg1100.dtb
   Probing 1 block devices...not supported
 done
    ZFS found no pools
    UFS found no partitions
Failed to load '/boot/loader.efi'
panic: No bootable partitions found!
## Application terminated, r = 1

Thanks for all the heko

@Gemini2350 did you run “usb reset” per the note in step 6 at https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/reinstall-pfsense.html

Yes i have tried this

stephenw10

Looks like you have omitted some of the console output there. Do you have the full output?

@stephenw10 Hey stephen
Actually thats everything i see after i run "run usbrecovery"

Thanks for your help

stephenw10

There is something missing there. It's possible the console text is being over written in the console at some point. How are you logging it.

It should look like:

@Gemini2350 said in ReInstall Fails:

Probing 1 block devices...not supported

Well that looks wrong. The first thing I would try here is using the other USB port. Then try a different USB stick.

There still appears to be some output missing there.

@stephenw10
I've logged directly from putty in a txt file. Is there a better option?
I will try another usb stick and the other usb port

stephenw10

Nope the putty log should capture it.
