[RESOLVED] CF card fails to boot in non-safe mode.
-
This issue has been resolved by disabling DMA for the CF card. See Solution below initial issue.
Hi, I'm having difficulty booting in non-safe mode from a 4GB compact flash card (newly written pfSense-2.2.4-RELEASE-4g-i386-nanobsd-vga.img using dd_rescue -A). It boots fine in safe-mode.
When I boot the image after it's been written it fails with the error below. Any ideas?
