Hey guys,
I'm having some issues setting up TrueNAS Core on some older Hardware.
My specs:
Brand: Acer Veriton X4610G
Motherboard: Q65H2-AD
BIOS: P01-B3 (latest)
CPU: i5-2320
RAM: 2x 4GB Nanya NT4GC64B8HG0NF-CG
Boot drive: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB / WD BLue 250 GB SSD
Storage Drives: none
so far I've tried:
- updating the BIOS to the latest Version (P01-B1 to P01-B3)
- using different USB-Drives to install TrueNAS
- using different TrueNAS Core Images (13.0-U5 and 13.1)
- installing in both UEFI and Legacy BIOS Modes
- using different boot drives (120GB Samsung SSD and 250GB WD Blue SSD)
- Using different RAM sticks, SATA-Cables and SATA-Ports
- enabling/disabling different options in BIOS (see attached images)
- verifying the installed TrueNAS boot drive in another (more modern) machine --> it works and boots
I haven't connected any storage drives yet as I just wanted to set up the OS for now.
The installation was always successful but I can't seem to be able boot into TrueNAS afterwards.
It doesn't seem to matter if i ues UEFI or legacy boot, the boot drive always shows with [UEFI: Samsung SSD....] in the bios and boot menu.
The computer just doesn't want to boot TrueNAS.
Does anyone have an idea what else I can try out to get this to work? Or am i doomed and my hardware jsut doesn't support TrueNAS?
