SOLVED The FreeNAS installation on da1 has failed

[cywuek]

I was trying to install FreeNAS on HP Proliant Microserver Gen8 G1610T. Upgraded the memory to 16GB. I am pretty new this and I came across the following error message. I was using a usb drive to load the installation and a MicroSD card to install FreeNAS. But I got the same error message even when I tried with another usb. I am not sure what is the error. Not much help from Google search and it seems this is a very straightforward installation with this microsever normally. Any help would be appreciated.

Which version of FreeNAS? eg what is the exact name of the file you downloaded?

I wonder if it's the stick... as it seems similar to https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/7843?

What brand of stick (and size of stick) are you using? Do you have any other brands around?

Thanks. I tried with SanDisk 16GB MicroSD card, SanDisk Cruzer Blade 8GB and Toshiba 8GB. All produced same error message. I will try with another one and report back.

Make a bug report at bugs.freenas.org and post the issue number here. Include the name of the ISO file, the sticks you tried, and the full error message.

Thanks for the pointer. I managed to get it work. The problem was with the usb drive that had the installation files. Once I changed it to another one, it installed without any issue.
