Scale 24.10 install with boot errors and no connectivity on NIC

So i installed 24.10 on my Dell R740XD. Im getting the following error:
error: compression algorithm inherit not supported.
error: unknown device -546763264
error: compression algorithm inherit not supported.
error: compression algorithm inherit not supported.

Also im booting from a BOSS card in Raid1 and 64g ram, do i need a swap file? If so that fails to configure.

Then once getting into truenas the nics have no IPs. DHCP on or off doesnt matter. This is a Intel x710 quad SFP OCP network daughter card that i just installed. It sees the ports in the network interfaces but no IP. Getting lights on both ends, tried different ports and cables. Same end result.

You don’t need a swap file. O/S and programs will get the memory they need and ZFS will use the rest for its Adaptive Read Cache (ARC). Dragonfish and later versions of TrueNAS install with swapoff.

I am not sure whether ZFS supports BOSS cards and hardware RAID1, but typically the advice is to turn off RAID functionality and use ZFS mirroring instead. Since the boot drive holds a ZFS boot-pool, you need to be sure that this will work and is supported with hardware RAID1.

Re the errors, these seem to be Grub related, and some internet research suggests (but doesn’t prove) that this may be EUFI related.

So, check your BIOS settings and ensure that they are set to EUFI boot only and try installing again.
