Hello,
I am building my first FREENAS system and wanted to do it right to avoid buy more parts later. So I have gone overboard and it is now biting me
I am getting boot errors and am hoping for some help.
System:
MotherBoad: X9DRi-LN4F+
Processors:: 2x Intel® Xeon® E5-2680
RAM: 192 GB ECC
Controller:: 3x LSI 9210-8i ARRAY CONTROLLER (IT Mode)
Case: SC846BA-R920B 24 X3.5" drive Bays
Boot drive: SUPERMICRO 32GB SATA SMC SATADOM Mfg. Part#: SSD-DM032-SMCMVN1
Secondary drive: Samsung 850 Pro 512GB (intended for Jails/vms)
Storage array: 11x WD Red 4TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400
I am able to boot to a USB and from there install to the Satadom.
However when I reboot and try to boot form the satadom I get an error from the Intel boot agent
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F Exiting intel Boot Agent
Finally
Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device
If I use the bios boot mentu to force the sata drive I just get the:
reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device
I am confident the satadom is good and has a good connection since the freenas instal usb saw it and was able to install to it.
any ideas?
I appreciate the help.
