XG Firewall Home Edition on XG 135 Rev. 3

Quadra

Hello

I'm trying to flash the XG 135 Rev. 3 with XG Home.
When trying to flash it with an USB it returns the error of "Detected Sophos physical device".
I've read that you can do away with this by removing some partitions with GParted.
However GParted doesn't seem to boot. Other Live-USBs with a GUI don't seem to boot as well E.G.: SystemRescue.

Does anyone have experience with this?

    Hello Quadra

    I flashed my XG 115 Rev.3 two days ago wit XG Home.
    I strugled also with Gparted. At the end, I booted GParted "save mode" on my appliance. Then it was working (created a ext/4 partition)

    XG Home is running so far good, besides:

    - Ports are "shifted by one": physical port 1 one is actually port 2 in the Sophos operating system
    - Status led is always blinking instad of permanent green.

    What error do you have?

    Cheers,
    Patrick

    Hello Patrick

    When trying to flash the XG 135 with Home I get "Detected Sophos physical device".
    When I try to boot with GParted I just get a black screen.
    I'm sure the USB works as it does work on another regular computer.

    Hi,

    i used a Ubuntu 18 Server DVD and booted from ext DVD ROM Drive.

    Ubuntu boots and installs a Server System.

    This kills all Sophos Partitions and you can install the software appliance from DVD.

    When trying to boot with Ubuntu Server I get the following.

    SYSLINUX 6.03 EDD 2014-10-06 Copyright (C) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al
    Loading bootlogo...

    This stays on screen forever.

    This Looks like USB Boot with Rufus to me.

    Did you used a DVD Drive?

    I think you Need a UEFI Boot Method with a USB Stick.

    I tried with usb but failed everytime.

    I had installed the Software appliance with my SG105w
