      The 2 pages I replaced with mine, they actually used my mem code when I checked it in! Anywho the 2 pages I replaced were:

      system_information_widget.php
      functions.inc.php

            My Firebox 500 failed to come back after the 2.2 upgrade: CAM errors as previously reported.  I found the solution earlier to force PIO mode with loader.conf hints (https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Upgrade_Guide#Disk_Driver_Changes).

            I don't really understand why this is the best solution, though.  Why does pfSense not figure out the proper mode itself, as it did in 2.1?

            Would re-flashing from a new install image help?

                Hey SW10, I tried the LCDd I recompiled on FreeBSD 10.1, when I try to start it I get critical error and no other info, where can I look to see what is happening?

                EDIT: SOLVED! Found a flag to show what it does when I issue start. Fixed one thing and it started right up! Now I am trying to decide if I like the one from the package better or my custom one better.

                Does the updates I have for LCDProc and LCDProc-DEV from the package manager fix the start issue where after choosing options and starting the service no info showed up until I rebooted?

                  I don't know, does it start up correctly every boot? Does it crash out if your WAN IP changes?  ;)

                  The DMA setting you now have to apply is because in previous versions DMA was disabled by default in NanoBSD  (serial). That allowed it to boot on some older boxes like the Alix but put a hude performance restriction on newer hardware that can use UDMA on CF cards. The updated code in FreeBSD 10.1 properly detected the lack of DMA support in the Alix so it can now boot with DMA still enabled. The Firebox can't. It's pretty easy to work around onde you know what's happening.

                      The location it wants the conf file in for LCDd has changed.

                        It looks like that when I uninstall and reinstall the LCDProc package the custom files I put in the directory get removed and then re-added. Where would those be held so I can delete them to start fresh?
