        I just pulled 2GB of RAM out of my box since it seemed to not be in use (Kidding).

          I think I will take the cases off all my boards, cases don't seem to be used either  :P

            Another good one.  LOL  +1 karma for you too.

            Although… The more there is the greater odds of a failure...  If it's really not needed and never will be.  There's really no point in it being there.  No upside to it, only down side.  Though I admit my system has 2 x 1GB modules and only using about 20% according to the dashboard (memory usage + tmp and var ramdisks).

            But if I pull out the extra module I'll probably lose it.  And then some day need it for some reason.  Think I'll just continue living dangerously.

              You're reaching.  But I'll be generous and give you one too for effort.

              Actually cases are used.  They are part of the thermal control system.

                That's true - specially on my APU systems. Permission given to smite me for my silly idea.

                  Missed the point of my post entirely. Don't disable the serial port in the BIOS. Enable the serial console as a secondary console. You never know when it might be useful.

                  Locking the thread since it seems to have lost its usefulness.

                  As a reminder for those finding this thread who missed it earlier, the workaround and fix may be found at https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Upgrade_Guide#pfSense_2.2.2_Upgrade_Notes

                    For the first time ever, we went ahead and updated the 2.2.2 full update files (only thing affected) to include only this change:
                    https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/cc1f655f8e88ccda837e21d0646bbc71781198b9

                    So no one will need to do any of the work arounds anymore.
