pFsense + Intel Atom D2500

Thread Starter 
Anyone have any experience with this combo? Whenever I try to install it, the menu just hangs forever and doesn't ever progress. I read that there were some issues with pfSense and Intel Atom's. Anyone have any ideas on why the install just doesn't work?

I've also tried ClearOS, same thing, installation error. Any ideas?

Which ISO did you download? If you downloaded the embedded version you'll never seen a menu or anything actually since it's made for a serial console.

Maybe?

Try downloading the amd64 version as the ATOM processor actually supports it.
You can search for the VGA build that will actually have a VGA output if you hook it up to a monitor.

I used both the i686 and amd64 versions, it got to the menu, but never got past it after choosing an option.

What NIC/Chipset combo are you using?

I assume ICH10 + 2nd PCIe NIC?

Often it will do that if it doesn't like a certain piece of hardware...

I installed ClearOS on an MSI Wind U120 netbook with an Atom N270 CPU and a USB-to-LAN adapter. Configuring it is a project I haven't gotten to yet, though. I dunno if that helps any, but I've gotten it working with SOME form of Atom CPU.

Try with an Intel NIC. I know your MB doesn't have PCIe but you can still find PCI Intel's.

No offence but those parts seem to be on the lower end of the quality scale...

why not install pfsense onto a VM on the server itself. That way you can configure It as a everything server, or just use something like windows server. To use a atom CPU from for pfsense itself is kinda a waste, though it your decision.

I would install something like XP as the main OS, then use VMware to host pfsense. Add in some storage and use it as a everything server. I have a Atom 330 supermicro server I got free from work, has no problems running stuff in VMware. Though I don't run pfsense, but I know it can be done.

Uhh that was kind of the point of this whole thing, to be as low-budget as possible. The whole project costed under $100 so I'm going to find a way to make it work.

Thanks for your input, I was thinking about doing something like that today. I have keys for Windows Server 2008, R2, SBS 2011, 2012, 2003, etc. I'd think Server 2008 R2 would work the best, SBS requires 4GB RAM so I think that's out of the question.

Anyway, I'll try it out and see how that works. Thanks again smile.gif
