SFOS 18.0.0_GA-379 fresh install via HW-18.0.0_GA-Build379-379.iso fails to boot. Stuck at the Shell prompt while booting.

Hello

On the same machine, I previously upgraded from v17 to v18.  I wanted to test a fresh v18 ISO install.

Burned a CD and installed it.  No obvious error message on the screen.  Will eventually ask to eject the CD and press "Y" to reboot.

But then stuck here:

Will not boot any further.  It would be realy dump to punch a Shell command everytime a firewall boot ...

I check the UEFI.  There's only to boot choices.  "GRUB" and "UEFI OS".  Tried both, just in case.  Same result.

Another day, another waste of time ...

So you guys have an idea ?

    Hello

    Not surprisingly, booting from USB key delivered the same result as booting from a USB CD.

    I reach this click "Y", then "Enter" ...

    When it boots, it hangs there:

    There are a few things to underline here.  The first time I attempted the upgrade earlier via a CD Rom, I noticed the "Boot mode select" parameter was at "UEFI OS".  My first few attempts were done with that setting.  I switched it to "LEGACY" and tried again with no luck.  Then I burned a USB Key exactly as mentionned on your instructions and made sure the "Boot mode select" parameter was at "LEGACY" before booting with the USB key.

    Then I tried with the "UEFI Os" parameter with no luck.

    I never reach this point:

    So, clearly, Sophos' ISO fail to work.
