Hi Guys,
I have been using FreeNAS 9.2.1.x for over a year know and absolutely love it. After some playing around I have my setup working flawlessly.
However, I have been struggling with upgrading to 9.3 for weeks now, and haven't had any success. Whenever I try and boot from the 9.3 USB image, all I see is a blinking cursor, no other messages. I've tried multiple 8Gb and 16Gb sticks, and have confirmed that the USB image is good as I've booted on other machines. As mentioned, 9.2.1.9 boots fine on my server.
Here are my specs:
HP DC7800 machine
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz
RAM: 6 Gb
As per this: https://bugs.pcbsd.org/issues/5961
it seems that it may be a BIOS issue.. I've enabled/disabled the legacy boot in my BIOS, but still no dice, and played with setting different MBR boot flags using gdisk, and nada.
I've also tried the latest FreeNAS 9.3 nightlies as a shot in the dark, but no luck.
Hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.
Thanks!
