  • Update: SFOS v18 MR3 has been released

    Hi All,

    Here's the latest update:

    As with any release for XG Firewall, ensuring high quality and a great customer experience is our top priority with MR3.  For this reason, we generally do not make timing commitments for Maintenance Releases and only publish them once they meet our high quality standards. MR3 is a substantial release, integrating a number of security and performance enhancements as well as a significant number of fixes. We know there is high anticipation amongst partners and customers for many of these enhancements and are working as fast as possible to get it into their hands. We expect to release it next week but as mentioned, quality is our top priority and that will determine the release timing.

  • Boots on UEFI but installed MBR so cannot boot Sophos on UEFI platform.  Ghetto workaround us use Ubuntu to build he EFI boot files   community.sophos.com/.../uefi-boot-xg-firewall-18-0-ga-build379

    Same problem is on v18 MR-1-Build396, after fresh install is EFI partition empty.

    I tried to install a new grub from Ubuntu Live 20.04, but ending with error "kernel doesn`t support EFI handover". The problem was a new grub on Ubuntu. After installing the EFI loader from Ubuntu18.04 it already works fine.

    Solution:

    1) Install SFOS

    2) Boot from USB Flash Ubuntu Live 18.04

    3) Open terminal and write:

       sudo apt install grub-efi-amd64-bin
       sudo mount /dev/sda1 /boot
       sudo mkdir /boot/efi
       sudo mount /dev/sda2 /boot/efi
       sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi/
