Problem installing pfSense on HDD and SDD ada0s1
-
Hello,
I am trying to install pfSense on the HDD and SSD directly connected to data, then it gets stuck at 77% and gives me an error: CAM Status: Command timeout.
I've tried formatting it different filesystem such as Fat, ExFAT, NTFS.
I know that there is no issues with the drives I bought another one to try and make it work.
I am using JetWay Mini-ITX board. Maybe there's specific bios setting that needs to be configured? I've played with SATA config in Bios still same issue.Could anyone please help me out how do I get pfsense to install on the little Mini ITX?
Thanks!

Are you using 64bit? Try that if you can.

my CPU is 32bit therefore only that will work for me. No matter how much I've tried, same issue, but when booting from the Live CD using CD disk, I'm getting weird error "Under 512 MB RAM detecter. Not enabling APC" even though I got 4GB of RAM.
I burned to CD and getting same exact error. Don't know how else I can get it to install.Thanks!
Edit:
I got it to install on my HDD using external SATA to USB, it installed and even booted using that method but when I connect back to SATA, I am getting the mounting error 19 as can be seeing in the screenshot attached.
-
Use 2.1.5 now and try 2.2.1 later. Cool?
-
Could you please hit me up with the link for 32bit version for USB ".img format", I'm cool with the older version. I could try that out.
Thanks!

Give me a sec.

I think I found it, is this is the one? pfSense-2.1.5-RELEASE-1g-i386-nanobsd-vga.img.gz from: http://mirror.qubenet.net/mirror/pfsense/downloads/
Thanks! -

Yeah - I don't have to look for this often. Looks like you also found it yourself.
-
I have got it to run, but the "install" is missing. There's no option 99 nor when booting live, like the 2.2 version it showed to choose your mode to install its "I" and "R" for recovery. Is there a way to get to install from Shell?
Thanks!
-
You press "I" for install.
Then when the web gui is available, restore your backup config.If you have never made a backup configuration, then this will be a learning experience for you. Always make a backup periodically of your configuration.
-
The thing is I never came across "I" like in version 2.2 its not showing up. When booting up, I boot up as default then it went right through configuration and skipped the install page.
I have it running in VM, but moving over physical hardware.How do I get it to install?
Thanks!

That's a nanobsd image not the USB install image.
This is the 32bit USB install image:

Thank you! That's what I thought didn't seem to be right. Ill try that out and update. That makes sense no wonder the configuration were stored after the reboot. Thanks!

By the way, I'd like to mention that this says serial on it. I don't have a serial console. Will it work like the VGA?
thanks! -
If you have VGA, why are you just not doing a full install?
-
You're right. I was typing on a touch screen and I guess I copied the wrong link. That is the serial image so you would need a serial console to use it.
The normal (vga) image is here:

Wow thank you guys very much. The older version solved my issue. It looks like something is wrong with 2.2. This has installed perfectly fine on my HDD and SSD drive now all up and running. Is the update coming anytime soon that fixes this issue?
Thank you all for all your help.
-
ehhhh. Hard to know if its something "wrong" or if your drivers just aged off and no longer supported or something. At any rate, try at 2.2.1 again. Make a backup first and keep that 2.1.5 install file handy.
-
If it's an install issue you may be able to upgrade to 2.2.X from 2.1.5 even if the 2.2 installer has some issue on your system.
