UTM installation fails with install.tar not found

Hope this helps!

tobymac, thanks a lot for the link. Unfortunately, it doesn't help. I did the following:

- I inserted the stick where the ISO is unzipped on the stick.

- I started the installation.

- I did the mount /dev/sdb1 /install

- I proceed with the installation making network-, date- and keyboard settings

- The installation aborted with "installation failed" when it begins to format the temp disk space on sdba1. No error message.

What did I do wrong?

Kind regards,

Hi,

Try maybe to: mount /dev/sdba1 /install

Probably your disk is mounting different.

Or the disk might be faulty.

Cheers

tobymac, again thank you for your help.

When using sdba1 for the device I run into an error for a device not found. So, /dev/sdb1 should be fine.

The stick is fine also. I can read it without problems using my laptop.

It seems the appliance hangs when the installation is aborted. I tried to view the logfile using ALT+F4,but the appliance doesn't react anymore after the installation is aborted. Only way is performing a reset.

Any other ideas?

If you are using UEFI in your BIOS settings, change that to legacy.  Make sure you aren't using UEFI.

Thanks for the hint, but I'm booting without UEFI. If I chose booting with UEFI nothing works. I'm really desperated. I have no clue what is going wrong and no idea what I can test anymore.

Because I get Sophos not installed I have to look for another freeware firewall. Maybe, I'll move to OPNsense.

Nevertheless, thanks a lot for your help!
