Intel D2500cc(e) serial ports disfunctional?

This works fine on 2.1.2 also, this time tested with x64.

Thanks for this! I did not have to do this with the 2.03 / 2.1 pfSense series, but I did have to use this workaround when I updated to 2.2 Alpha. Something evidently changed (I'd go so far as to say reverted ….), going from FreeBSD 8.3 to FreeBSD 10.0.

I'll post in the 2.2 Alpha feedback forum as well.

Thanks guys!

Worked here on my 2.1.3 release for GPS/PPS stuff. Changed two first serial ports.

dmesg | grep uart
uart0: <16550 or compatible> at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
uart1: <16550 or compatible> at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0
uart2: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 10 on acpi0
uart3: <16550 or compatible> port 0x2e8-0x2ef irq 11 on acpi0

@robi:

This code in /boot/loader.conf.local solved my problem.
debug.acpi.avoid="\_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.UAR1 \_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.UAR2"
For both serial ports!"

Just a quick note that this is NOT needed anymore for 2.2-RELEASE on my Jetway NF99 motherboard. My guess is that it's not needed anymore on any other board which required this in previous pfSense versions.
Ports work out of the box.

Thanks! Confirmed on my systems that needed this workaround as well, uart0 attaches to acpi0 properly now.
