I was able to install FreeNAS and access the web GUI, everything was working good. At the moment I had the PC on the table just in case I needed to do hardware troubleshooting, and as soon as I confirmed it worked I shut down the machine using the option in the web GUI and placed the computer in the place I want it to be.
Now, when I turn it on it will not boot (seems like does not get to grub). I have a monitor hooked to it and it goes through all of the motherboard initial boot but then just goes to a black screen infinitely. I did not change any bios settings before that happened.
I tried reinstalling, but that problem keeps happening. Reading around I see that a possible cause is that the boot drive died, but I do not think it is the case, not only it is brand new but the installer keeps letting me use it without issue.
Any idea of what can be happening? Cant really give you guys an error code because the screen just will not display anything and I cannot access FreeNAS thru the network.
Wanted to give more info: I don't remember what mode it was installed as when it worked, but it probably was BIOS mode.
When I set the motherboard to only boot in UEFI mode it skips everything and goes directly to the UEFI shell. It will only boot the usb and SSD (getting stuck before grub?) in legacy mode.
I have already installed in both modes.
The SSD is connected to my SAS card, i first connected it directly to the mobo but it game me "cam timeout" errors when installing, I do not get install errors if its connected to the SAS card.
