Initialinstallation auf Hardware fehlgeschlagen

Hi Joschy-l- 

To install XG home, 

• Intel compatible computer with dual network interfaces. (Any previous OS or files on the computer will be overwritten when installing the XG Firewall Home Edition)
• Home Edition is limited to 4 cores and 6 GB of RAM. The computer can have more than this, but XG Firewall Home Edition will not be able to utilize it.

For more info- https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-xg-firewall-home-edition.aspx

Entschuldige wenn ich jetzt noch mal blöde nachfrage, aber was genau willst du mir mit dem letzten Post sagen? 

Ich verstehe es wirklich nicht. Die Sidewinder wo ich das versucht habe hat einen Intel Celeron an Board. UTM9 läuft da auch drauf. Das alles darauf gelöscht wird ist mir klar.

das die Limitierung mit 4 cores und 6GB RAM bei der Homeversion ist, ist mir gleich, ich habe eh nicht so viel und möchte mir ja nur mal den Funktionsumfang und meine Anforderungen konfigurieren.

Ich kriege das Ding ja aber wie in meinem ersten Post ja gar nicht zu installieren. Wenn ich jetzt etwas falsch verstanden habe bitte ich um konkrete Hinweise. 

Vielen lieben DANK

Gruss

Joachim

Hi Joschy-l- 

I have just shared the details regarding the installation of the XG firewall home edition, I am aware of your configuration. Not sure why the installation is getting failed as there is no proper info available on the error while installing and we cannot retrieve SFOS v16 image file. I have recently install MR12 home edition in my VM without any issue but hardware configuration was different. 

Let me tag rfcat_vk if he has something to share on this.

Hi folks,

I would like to provide assistance, but I do not understand German well enough (very simple).

Looking at the screenshot with the error, I over came that issue with a BIOS update.

Hy at all

OK I will try to translate the whole thing into English with a translator. Please don't stone me if it sounds strange at some times.

Bios update?
what is so different on the XG than on the UTM, because I put the image on the USB stick on the same way, with the same Tools,  and than the firmware on the appliance and it works without any problems.

For me the first and importent question is, whether it is possible to use this hardware or not. if I knew that, I would be a huge step ahead. 
The Second Question ist, whether I'm using the right ISO. I Have used the SW-17.5.12_MR-12-664.iso, but there would still be the HW-17.5.12_MR-12-664 and i Think that second iso is only for SOPHOS Appliance, Right?
At least that was the case with UTM

It would be really cool if someone could help me here. I saw that others were also struggling with the problem but there was nowhere a clear solution.

Hi,

thank you for the translation. Did you upgrade to at least 4gb of ram 60gb of disk. The XG installer is not as good as the UTM version, seems to have trouble writing over MS disks.

Ian

hey,

so it's done when it really needs 4 GB for an installation. I only have 1 GB on the old appliance and I cannot activate the second bank. even then I would have max 2 GB in stock which I could use. Who knows with 100% that it does not go under 4 GB. If that is the case, you can close the post office,

Best regard Joachim

V17.5 can be used with 2 GB RAM. 

V18 needs at least 4 GB RAM to install and operate. 

Those are the minimum requirements. 

HEy Lucar,

And maybe the Version 16.x with 1GB ? HAHAHAHAH  I need the Version 16.x has nobody an ISO from that older Version?

Is it posible to make an Upgrade from an installed Version to the Next higher version Without an compled New ISO?

It is not supported anymore and End of Life.

OK Guys,...

Give yourself that!

I actually managed to install the part. And everyone who has the problem, that was the solution for me !!!!!

It actually had to do with the amount of RAM. I still had a 512kb-RAM lying around and could add the 1 GB to my built-in one. The Version i Need was SW-17.5.12_MR-12-664.

Voila the installation went through and I could hear the Bethofen finish.

But the joy was short-lived. When I restarted the system told me that the CPU with i686 is too old and I should take care of a new version.

The topic of XG is thus through for me. Alone the fact that at least the UTM runs on it and XG is not annoying. If I get my hands on a new hardware,

I might pick up on the topic again. Thanks to everyone who gave me tips and wanted to help me.

Have fun with your XG!

Best regards

Joachim

Hi

I have Problem with: "make a bootable USB Stick for the ISO File (Software Version for x86 Hardware) SW-17.5.12_MR-12-664.iso
I had tried with the Tool Rufus (Version 3.x). With this Tool, you can make a bootable USB Stick, but Unfortunately, for example, my notebook does not start with it, even does my target system.

I need Help for this :-)

cheers
Andrew

What is the Problem, do you set the Bootprioritys on the PC? what kind of PC does it is?
