Installation problem on PCEngines APU2C4

Hello all.

First post on the forum.

I’ve been trying to install VyOS 1.1.8 on a PCEngines APU2C4, following the guide at https://wiki.vyos.net/wiki/Network_appliances#PC_Engines_APU2C4 but seem to hitting a wall.

I’ve successfully created the ISO image as laid out in the steps, confirmed the generated ISO boots by running it in a VM, written the ISO to a SDCard (even tried USB stick). I get the syslinux boot explaining to login as vyos/vyos and how to install the image. Once it passes that, I see exactly one kernel message then it appears to hang. The last message I see is “i8042: No controller found”.

Any suggestions or ideas I can try to get VyOS to boot?

Update:

Here’s the serial output from a VM to confirm it’s working:

Hi I had similar problems, it worked by burning the image to an sd card, and install vyos from there
