Installer stuck at Booting...

[nec4b]

Hi, I need some help. I'm trying to install FreeNas 11.2. The bootloader loads, i can change the boot options and etc., but it doesn't help. When I press enter for multi user boot, some images and drivers are loaded and then the installer writes "Booting..." with a blue background and just stays there. Vanilla FreeBSD or Linux boot without a problem on the same USB key.

I'm trying to install FreeNas 11.2.

Why? It is a Release Candidate and probably still has some bugs. If you want the stable version, you should be getting this:

It says on the download page that if one wants virtualization and plugins one should download the 11.2 RC1. (https://www.freenas.org/download-freenas-release/) I'm downloading the version you linked, and will report if it works.

While it is true that some of the features that are planned for the next version of FreeNAS will be better than what is currently available in 11.1-U6, the 11.2-RC1 version still has some issues that need to be resolved. If your primary desire is a usable storage platform, 11.1 is the way to go and it does support virtualization, it just might take a little more effort to get working.

Thanks for the info. Your suggested version boots and installs without a problem.

You might want to submit a bug report for the other version of FreeNAS. Just explain what your hardware is so that they can try to correct any driver issues that might be causing it not to load.

Same thing is happening to me with 11.2-RELEASE.
Any suggestions?
