It would be lovely if you took a look at the FreeNAS forums rules and posted info as requested there.. Otherwise your "my car won't start" thread won't get you any responses.

Hi!
My new board is H81-PLUS with 8GB with INTEL CORE i3-4130
3 disks WD SATA: 1000GB, 300GB, 300GB.
FreeNAS saved on Cruiser Blade 8GB, original after download.
If you need additional info, I can answer.

Was the x86 version installed on another USB stick or the same one? Normally your error is a hardware problem(usually with the USB key itself) but can be some other component too. Your hardware doesn't look like it should have any compatibility issues.

If you have a backup of your config you might try reinstalling FreeNAS on your USB stick and trying again.

Yes, same version 9.1.1. I can backup the config for x86, how can I use the config for x64?

There is another problem. Version x64 doesn't view all 8GB memory, but ~3GB only!

You can just import the config on the x64 system. It's independent of your architecture.
The x86 version should only be able to see 3-4 GB, the x64 version should see all of your RAM. Are you sure you tested with x64 fresh install (no upgrade)?

The problem is I cannot boot x64!

Based on this I assumed you could boot it ;)

Have you tried a new installation or new USB stick yet?

 

[Boris Berdichevski]

No, problem doesn't depend on USB stick, I've tried another one.
Please see on my BIOS window

I had the same problem with a new Haswell compatible motherboard. You need to disable USB 3.0 in your BIOS.

That's OK, it's the memory reported by 32bit BIOS, you should see your entire memory once you manage to boot.

There is a known incompatibility of the xhci (USB3) driver with Haswell chipsets. Try to disable USB3/xHCI in BIOS. It will either boot or will not see the USB ports at all. It the second case you can try this procedure: failed with error 19
Try to also move the USB stick to an USB2 port if there are any.

Thank you very much!:p
Setting xHCI Disabled helped me!!!!
