System boots extremely slow
-
So I recently purchased a Portwell Wade-8321-LU motherboard (I believe it is the same as the Wade-8021, which is sold in the US). I bought an Core i5 2520M to put on it. In all, I have about $100 into it. Anyway, I have an issue where the system boots extremely slow. The slow-down happens right after the PFSense splash page starting with the line "KDB: debugger backends: ddb". Anyway, when it slows down, the system will only output a character about every 3 seconds. The system never actually boots either (Somewhere between 2 and 5 hours it will reboot…. I haven't had the patience to check it that often).
The system seems stable in Windows 7 64-bit. Also, the problem is not the hard drive as this as done it will a drive that was known working with another PFSense box. If I reinstall PFsense, the system will work normal for a while, but eventually it will start doing this again. After it starts doing this, the only way to fix the problem is to reinstall PFSense again. It doesn't seem to be tied to a specific setting.
Anyway if you have any suggestions that I can try for this, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Disable the serial port.

Seriously though, if you were here I'd be buying you lunch. That worked! Thanks!
