Booting from mobo USB header (+micro stick) hangs just after / at:
SMP: AP CPU £1 Launched!
FreeNAS version and platform:
- FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x64.img
- burnt on to a USB microthumb using "dd" on MacOSX
General hardware information (CPU, RAM, Motherboard model, etc.):
- CPU: Intel Celeron C530 dual core 2.4 GHz
- RAM: 16 GB = 4 x 4 GB of Kingston DDR3 dual channel (checked mobo compatibility)
- Mobo: Asus P8B75-M (not V, not LE, not LX, not LX plus)
- Boot: A (cheap?) USB 2 IDC 9 pin header to... 2 x USB 2.0... i.e. I mean I am booting from a micro-board with a 9 pin header female plug + 2 x USB 2) in to which is plugged a physically very small thumb drive (badged from Vodaphone) micro USB stick which reports as 15.9 GB (a really small USB thing that can't be called a stick)
Specific hardware information (Network card chipset, Raid controller chipset, etc.):
- NIC is on board: Realtek® 8111F-VB-CG PCIe Gigabit LAN controller
- No h/w RAID.
- Mobo chipset is: Intel B75
- 1 x SATA 6 Gb/s port has Samsung 830 SSD 64 GB
- 5 x SATA 3 Gb/s ports - but only first two occupied by Hitachi Ultrastar 1 TB, 7200 rpm (from Nov 2010).
DMESG output or copy of specific error message:
- Apologies, but ?
IFCONFIG output if you are asking about a NIC or networking problem:
- Doesn't get that far.
PCICONF -lv output if you are asking about MotherBoard and / or PCI card problems:
- Again, doesn't get that far.
Code snippets, logs, config files and quotes should be enclosed in the appropriate bbcode tags:
- Nothing custom.
Apologies, but: noob + new h/w (never used for anything else) + new O/S
Wouldn't boot, so...
I searched the web... then I ensured that ACPI was already disabled for the SATA drives (i.e. they are are in IDE mode)...
...so I tried disabling APM in mobo BIOS...
...but still hangs at same place.
Should I install a.n.other O/S first to just see if all h/w is detected correctly? Maybe Windows?
