Freenas on x58. wont boot with other media than windows

Tha pac · Jan 5, 2019

I have this nice gigabyte Mb with an Xeon l5640

GA-EX58-UD4P

I want to use it for freenas, but i cant for the life of me get it to boot from a USB og SSD/HDD with freenas og any other linux based operating system

As soon i put a usb in with any form of linux it post but only to the memory count, when i try with a win10 usb it works fine.

I have tried booting from a CD, and then i can boot the installer up, but as soon i get the installation started it freeezes. And because i has written something on the USB it wont boot past the memory counter. And empty USB storage device isn´t a problem and it boots fine into windows with that.

I have tried with regular linux, unraid and freenas, and it wont work.

Any suggestions on how i might make it work

Any help is apriciated

What are you using to write the Freenas image to USB?

Have you tried another install of any kind with USB?
