Created attachment 174332 [details] APU2C4 Boot hangs Hardware: apu2c4 (http://www.pcengines.ch/apu2c4.htm) Wifi-Card attached: Compex WLE600NX mSATA drive attached: Samsung SSD 850 Evo I tried to install 11.0-RC2 on an apu2c4 which stucks on boot and waits forever (screenshot attached). So I tried to install 10.3-RELEASE which installed without problems and updated to 11.0-RC2 via freebsd-update, rebooted, hangs right after loading the kernel. I also tried 12-CURRENT but no luck either. I don't know how to track down this problem. If I can supply further investigation, please let me know. Kind Regards Oliver Initial Maillinglist discussion here: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2016-September/063180.html
Sorry I just noticed that the update from 10.3-RELEASE to 11.0-RC2 worked but the redirection to serial console does not on 11.0 and 12-CURRENT. That also prevents installing from memory stick via serial console. I dont know if this is still a bug. Kind Regards Oliver
It turned out that I have to set console="comconsole" comconsole_speed="115200" in loader.conf to get a serial console. But this still prevents to get 11.0 to get installed on that device. Cheers Oliver
Hi, I successfully installed FreeBSD 11.0-RC2 by adding to /boot/loader.conf following lines: boot_serial="YES" comconsole_speed="115200" console="comconsole" I modified memstick image, then successfully booted it on apu2c4.
please reopen if you are still having trouble installing
