Installation of pfSense 2.2 freezes

pfSector

Hello1

I would like to install the stable 2.1.5 version but stock with the issue here: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/3678. So, I have switched to 2.2 (issue has been fixed in FreeBSD 10).

My installation is stuck on the lines
re0: link state changed to DOWN
re1: link state changed to DOWN

Anyone experiencing the same issue? I am attaching the screen photo to see. Both NICs are physically disconnected (I cannot believe this is the issue).

Thank you!

It doesn't seem to complete mounting the install media. What are you installing from, and how did you create the install image?

Make sure you are not using a USB3 port, use a USB2 port for the install. Or try another media type, external CD perhaps.

I have downloaded the latest for yesterday image. Extension .img. To install I am using a 8GB usb stick. Recorded the image with win32diskimager application.
I have used the same way to install ubuntu.
thank you!

Wow, changing media to CD helped. I was trying to avoid writing a CD. Do it "Go Green" style.
Thank you!
