Hi, I'm new to the Sophos Firewall, but not firewall products in general. I've been running pfsense/opnsense for years, and thought I might give it a try. I can get it to boot just fine in a Proxmox VM, but on dedicated hardware it seems to be problematic. It looks pretty great on the VM, but I don't want to expose that hardware, not because I don't trust it, but because I have other services hosted on it that I don't want on an internet facing device.
I'm using a Dell Latitude 7290 i5 (8th gen) with 8GB of member and a dedicated M2 SSD. The install goes off without any issues, but I can't get the OS to boot at all...
I've tried the usual suspects, Disabling secure boot, TPM, messing with UEFI vs legacy boot options, disabling power management, and a host of other BIOS settings. I've also upgraded the BIOS and dropped back to factory defaults. The network card is the integrated one with an external TP-LINK 1Gb USB3 interface that worked great on a pfsense device and my Proxmox cluster.
The boot gets as far as grub, and adjusting boot options to remove the serial console, or just change from quiet to logging=4 yields "Booting a command list". Otherwise, Booting 20.0.0.222 or just a plain old black screen with a solid cursor.
Any suggestions at this point are appreciated.
Best,
Dan
