UEFI Boot XG Firewall 18.0 GA-Build379

Martin Gross

Hello,

I have ASRock J4105B-ITX board with PCIE 4Port NIC, and now I am not able to run SW SFOS 18.0 GA-Build379. Board supports only UEFI boot. The installation proceeds properly, but after a restart the system does not boot from the disk.

I tried the same version on an old HW (Celeron 1037U with dual NIC) switched to UEFI Only mode with the same result.

If I switch 1037U to Legacy boot only, it boots normaly afrer reinstallation in legacy mode. 

Is the problem only on the last Build?

I tried to download another build of v18 (339 and 354), but download link of iso file ends on other page - https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/135412

Is it possible to download iso build 354 somewhere?

 

Thank you

    Hi,

    end of all theory, I tried to go to the grub console via the installation disk and looked for the efi loader.

    Only one efi loader is on USB Flash for installation (hd0,2). On SSD disk is created efi partition (the only one with FAT) - (hd1,2) , but is empty.

    I copy EFI Loader from USB Install Flash to disk and modificate config to load grub.cfg on system partition. Now works :-)

    Result: Bad install image of build 379 - on UEFI system dont create boot file.

    Hi Martin,

    a great pickup and I can relate to that issue. I had the sam problem with a v17.5 installation, but was lucky enough to have kept the previous version on CD so was able to install and then upgrade.

    Hi all,

    I will not solve this problem. The boot ending on grub rescue, manual start is possible and without problem (must set root nad prefix variable and switch to the normal mode, the boot menu will starts and boot Sophos). It works, but not usable for real operation. I tried generate bootx64.efi with grub config from ubuntu which loads the original config from SSD. The boot menu will load, but system not starts, ending on error "Kernel doesn't support EFI handover". Bad way.... I need olders build (cannot be downloaded from the sophos web) or bootx64.efi file from the working system. On the file xboot64.efi on installation iso is all path hardcoced to bad destination and do not accept any config file.

    @Keyur - Is it possible to download an older iso somewhere? v17.5 does not support UEFi and last v18 not booting
