      I just received some Alix2c2 from PCEngines.
      Flashed some CF (126/512 MB) with a fresh 1.2, started it, and voila' the system refused to boot.
      Tried with a good CF with freedos, and it started.
      The bios is an original 0.99. Tried a reflash, but again no boot.
      The serial link shows the RAM check, an then some odd chararcters.
      Tried two boards. The same.
      It looks like a new nightmare.

      Hoping from you!

        What are your serial console settings?

        per default pfSense uses different settings than the ALIX board itself.
        (38400 and 9600 i think)

          Speed parameters were all good.
          Tried another CF (the third, 1 GB) and all worked.
          I was really in anxiety…

          Thanks for the quick response and my excuses (I shoud have tried more...)
