David and List, I,too have not been able to do a harddrive install on my Dell Dimension XPS R300 since V 0.63 or so.(Last version that the installer functioned properly) That version had a bug with DHCP Client on the WAN Interface. I get Kernel Page Faults about 50% of the install will all later LiveCDs. I don't have specific errors, but I tried about 6 different Live CDs versions. I tried Bios tweaks (NO sound, NO power Management, NO USB), different memory (Ran Extensive memory tests),different HD,CDROM Drives, Use known good 3Com 3c905b from my Monowall PC. As a New Version comes out and fails to install, I try different things (place HD and CDROM Drive on the Same IDE Channel or delete the Partition with DELPART), the list goes on and on. I tried the install on a Toshiba 300mhz Celeron and I get ATA IDENTITY issues.
Someone will probably suggest install that earlier version ( I believe it was 0.63) and do a manual update from there, but the way this product is evolving that idea probable will not work. I really like this firewall (been using Monowall since pb27) but I just cannot get this SOB to install. The feature I am waiting to see is DANSGUARDIAN WebFilter with Squid Transparent Proxy. I can post the specific errors that I receive if need be (no time to do it now) Thanks for this great Product, Bill -----Original Message----- From: David Strout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 12:59 PM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: [pfSense Support] ISO problems ... still Anyone, I have tried burning all of the version 0.73.x ISOs, and still the problem of when you launch the "/FreeSBIE/scripts/install.sh" script it hangs on the "Waiting for Backend" ANSI screen. Additionally, a couple of mesages pop up on the bottom of the screen ... xl0 link changed state to DOWN & xl0 link tate changed to UP. BTW ... xl0 is configured for the WAN interface on the ISO boot up and pre-config. I'm at a loss ... tried a few BIOS tweaks and nothing seems to help. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same symptoms. BTW2 ... tried two different PC's .... a Dell GX260 & a generic PC running an AMD Athelon 700Mhz I have had no problems w/ prior versions (0.68.x), but this issue crept up in/or about the 0.73.0 version.
