DanW Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Hey, I'm running UNRAID on a Ryzen 5 5600X and MSI MAG B550M MORTAR WIFI and I cannot get pfSense to boot if you use host passthrough. My Windows 10 and Windows Server VMs are working using host passthrough with no issues. I suppose it could be a FreeBSD issue. I'm using a fresh FreeBSD template and have tried pfSense 2.4.5, 2.5.0, 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 beta (with and without NICs passed through). For now, emulating the CPU with QEMU works but it doesn't support AIS which is going to be a problem in the future. Has anyone experienced this? 2021-06-03 17-02-44.mp4 Edited June 4, 2021 by DanW Quote Link to comment
Impossible Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Same issue here unfortuantly - same failiure at the same point. I have used the FreeBSD / Linux and Custom templates. I have attempted with unraid 6.8.3 and 6.9.1 5600x with a x470 mobo. I have tried altering the bus type of the ISO and of the guest's disk. I have used the same ISO's as you (checked the sha265) with and without NIC's. I have allocated 1 core (not CPU0) and multiple cores. If I remove my unraid USB stick and try the pfsense ISO burnt to a USB drive I manage to reach the setup screen. Your screen recordings nifty - I will have to figure out how you did that! After some forum searching Im going to hop from here..... Edited June 8, 2021 by Impossible Added forum link Quote Link to comment
DanW Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hey Impossible, Thanks for the reply, it's good to see that I'm not alone. 18 hours ago, Impossible said: If I remove my unraid USB stick and try the pfsense ISO burnt to a USB drive I manage to reach the setup screen. If you passthrough a USB stick and install successfully, does pfSense boot normally once the installation is complete? 18 hours ago, Impossible said: Your screen recordings nifty - I will have to figure out how you did that! I just used OBS to capture the window then compressed the video with handbrake so it's only 1mb. It worked pretty well My pfSense VM is still running emulated, it's running fine but I would like to get moved over to host passthrough. I was thinking of just switching the xml config but I haven't messed around yet. Quote Link to comment
B_Sinn3d Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I just updated my processor from 3900x to 5950x and now getting the same error. I ended up emulating the cpu to get it working. Hopefully I can figure out how to get passthrough working again. Quote Link to comment
Iker Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I have a 3900x and the same issue, the only thing that worked was to emulate to Skylake so AES NI is present: <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='full'> <model fallback='forbid'>Skylake-Client</model> <topology sockets='1' dies='1' cores='2' threads='1'/> <feature policy='require' name='hypervisor'/> <feature policy='disable' name='pcid'/> <feature policy='disable' name='hle'/> <feature policy='disable' name='erms'/> <feature policy='disable' name='invpcid'/> <feature policy='disable' name='rtm'/> <feature policy='disable' name='mpx'/> <feature policy='disable' name='spec-ctrl'/> </cpu> Quote Link to comment
DanW Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 3 months later and I still haven't figured this out. I've tried passing through a USB with the pfSense installer on it. I've upgraded to the latest MOBO BIOS. Maybe an unraid update will fix this? Quote Link to comment
B_Sinn3d Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) I am also having this issue for my 5950x and emulating CPU as a workaround on 6.9. I am not ready to update my production unraid yet to test but have you tried the 6.10 RC? Edited December 3, 2021 by B_Sinn3d Quote Link to comment
DanW Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 I haven't tried the 6.10 RC although I have been trying to find a changelog or something that might point to issues with AMD CPUs being resolved. All I've been able to find so far shows that there have been some onboard GPU improvements for AMD and Intel. So I'm not sure if 6.10 is going to fix the issue either. Quote Link to comment
MrX Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I had this same issue on my CPU (5900) and it looks like 6.10RC2 solves it. Maybe the devs will mention something about this in the changelog, after the new version becomes stable. Quote Link to comment
DanW Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hey @MrX, this is really good news, thank you for checking in and confirming. I look forward to the stable release of 6.10 Quote Link to comment
Brandon S Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I just spent 1 hour trying to figure this out. Makes me feel better that I am not the only one with the issue. Quote Link to comment
YoannJ Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Same issue when swapping from 2700 to 5700G. I can confirm on my side that updating to 6.10 RC2 fixed the issue. Quote Link to comment
