loader.conf.local entry gets removed
-
On the device I run pfSense+ 24.08-DEV on I added the following lines to get serial working:
console="efi" hw.uart.console="mm:0xfedc9000,rs:2"'hw.uart.console ...' get's removed and therefore after a reboot I don't have any serial output.
In the file /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc I see that it's one of the entries getting removed by pfSense:
1155 function load_loader_conf($loader_conf = NULL, $local = false) { ... 1173 /* These values should be removed from loader.conf and loader.conf.local 1174 * As they will be replaced when necessary. */ 1175 $remove = array( ... 1184 "hw.uart.console",In pfSense CE 2.7.2 it doesn't get remove, don't know about other pfSense+ version.
Any chance that pfSense could leave that setting alone?

@marcosm Thanks a lot for the quick reply and patch!
The patch applied cleanly and I will remove the immutable flag from loader.conf.local and reboot. But only after the football/soccer matches today :)

I have it a go between the two matches and it works excellent.
With the patch it is handled as I would like it to be: to remove it from loader.conf but not touch it if found in loader.conf.local.
Thanks again @marcosm.
