      Hi Guys,

      I'm new in pfSense, I read the site and looks promising… I would love to try it but my box is on production the IDE-HD and I have read a lot on this forum that it's not working on SATA-II HD (my avilable box) is this true?

      Anybody tried installing SATA-II HD on pfSence 1.2 full version?

      Specs of my box:
      DELL Vostro 200
      SATA II 160GB HD
      2GB of memory

      Hope to hear from you soon...

        Hi Guys,

        I have tried installing the pfSense on Vostro 200 and I got this error…

        sio0: type 8250 or not responding

        It's frozen on this line…

        Any ideas?

          Have you tried disabling the serial ports in the BIOS (assuming you're not running embedded)?

            I didn't see any serial in the BIOS… Which part should I go to disable it?

              Guys,

              I can't disable the serial my HD won't work if I disable the firewall…

              Is there's a way to install the pfSense manually? I have FreeBSD 7 on my Vostro 200 now...
