Installation fails at "detected appliance model: SF01V_SO01"

Todd Doucette

New user,

Trying to setup the XG firewall 16.05.03 on a Dell Inspirion with an AMD 64 x2, 6 GB ddr2, 250 GB HD and Intel EXPI9402PT dual lan card.

Created USB boot from SW-SFOS_16.05.3_MR-3-183.iso using Win32DiskImager

Use the boot loader to boot from USB, begins Firmware, shows my SATA drive and gets to;

Detected Appliance Model: SF01V_SO01

This program will erase...

Do you want to continue (y/n)?

 

And promptly locks up.

I've left it for an hour just to be sure nothing was going on.

 

Any thoughts???

    I downloaded SW-SFOS_16.05.5_MR-5-233.iso (XG Firewall Home Edition) and have a similar problem but with an Intel based PC.  Mine gets a bit further though. It displays a message saying Installing firmware for appliance SF01V_SO01  but then fails with a message:  "ERROR: Unable to install firmware".   Why would it be installing firmware when its a PC?

    This is my first experience with Sophos and not a very good one.  Not a good impression for me at all.  I'm looking for a replacement for a number of TMG servers I have installed at various sites.  Thinking of giving up on the Sophos option.
