Hi all
I am running a Sophos UTM 9.7 on a J1900 4 GBit NIC appliance and it just rocks.
To migrate from UTM to XG I ordered a new appliance https://www.pondesk.com/product/MNHO-048
Intel ATOM QuadCore E3845 CPU with 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD NVME Modul and 4 Intel I211-AT NICs
I installed the SW-18.0.0_GA-Build321-321.iso which went fine (at least the installer). After rebooting when the setup was through the BIOS presented me an error message saying that it failed to boot.
Insert boot median and press any key to continue.
I checked all the BIOS settings and boot order. Everything was correct. I even tried the F11-Boot Menu and selected the SSD directly. No chance. I played with the BIOS Settings (Secure mode disable, CSM Legacy, ... ). No way. Installation always worked but BOOT failed. After some time I tried the
SW-17.5.9_MR-9-577.iso
And what a wonder. It booted just fine and I could do the first setup wizard and the box was up. From there I was able to upgrade to v18 using
SW-18.0.0_GA-Build321.SFW-321.sig
The box still booted fine. Even after upgrading firmware to SFOS 18.0.0 GA-Build339
So my question is: Does SW-18.0.0_GA-Build321-321.iso have a broken Boot-Loader or Boot-Loader installation ?
I mean the appliance I bought is really a mainstream board and has an AMI BIOS. Just everything should work on that.
Any idea ?
