After installing the OVA and enable the Firewall and rebooting, the boot stuck on FireHOL.
This because the FireWall want to start before any network configuration.
- To fix this issue,
- On the startup screen, lock the countdown by using arrow top or down.
- type the “e” letter
- find the line
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 root=UUID=68f01ff2-e0b3-4873-b433-c79170e81d8b ro single quiet drm_kms_helper.poll=0 max_loop=256 elevator=noop
- On the line change the “ro” value to “rw”
- Add the “init=/bin/bash” value at the end of the line
- you should have this line:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 root=UUID=68f01ff2-e0b3-4873-b433-c79170e81d8b rw single quiet drm_kms_helper.poll=0 max_loop=256 elevator=noop init=/bin/bash
- After editing this line type “F10″ key
- You will enter into a minimal shell
- Just run the command “rm /etc/init.d/firehol” and type Enter
- Do an hardware reset and boot the server in normal way.
- Go into Artica Web Console/System/Your FireWall/Global settings
- Click on the link, Disable the Firewall
- Update Artica to v3.06.050915 and re-install the FireWall trough the Web Console.
