NTP and Serial upgrade issue

[LostInIgnorance]

I am remembering this issue prior to me updating to the beta versions so I am filing this here with the packages.

I am having an issue every time I upgrade my version on the firewall, the serial interface for the imaginary loop-back adapter is non functional and NTP can't communicate with the GPS serial module I have connected. A subsequent reboot after the upgrade fixes it. What is not starting when the upgrade is happening to not allow the GPS data to be pulled from this loop-back adapter?
