hello,

today a problem appeared while installing wtware version 5.6.22 to a hdd. (also tried it with 5.6.20 and 5.6.17)
procedure: boot wtware from usb stick without config for client and hit the install to harddisk button. installation is successful but after reboot machine stucks on manufacturer screen. also tried to change the sata drives (2.5"), but ended up with the same result.

I've attached a screen made short after i hit the installation button.

any idea how to successful install wtware? or is it possible to log something?

Try to install any ancient OS (DOS, old 32-bit linux, Windows XP 32-bit) on this device.

When it installs everything and displays "reboot terminal", press Esc. It will run command line. Then follow manual https://wtware.com/docs5/logs.html chapter "Directly from terminal, when terminal failed to connect to network".
