Hardware requirements/Compatibility

MauriceArney

Are the hardware requirements the same for XG firewall as for UTM 9?  I have an intel machine that had been running UTM 9.3 with no problems.  However, when I install XG firewall from the iso, the system will not start.  The installation completes with no errors but after removing the install disk and rebooting, it "hangs" with a black screen and blinking cursor.  It looks like a hardware issue.

    I had a similar problem installing XG firewall on a 32-bit Intel box. After installing the XG software, removing the install cd, and rebooting, it gives an error saying

    "This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU"

    From what I can tell though, there is no .iso installation file available for a 32-bit CPU. None of the documentation suggests that a 64-bit server is needed for this software.

    By default you would assume 64 bit because maximum memory a home user will be able to use is 6gb. 32 bit cannot access more than about 3.8gb of ram.

    My system has an Intel dual core 64 bit processor. The UTM9 software installed and ran with no problem so I'm not sure what could be causing this. I don't gat an error... It just doesn't boot up.

    Same here... I get the infamous "No bootable partition", tried on several PCs and same result. Be nice to know why..
