      Hey all,

      I have an issue with my new Supermicro X10SLV-Q build.  It boots just fine with all the serial ports disabled, but if I enable a serial port (which I need to communicate with my UPS)  it refuses to boot.

      Does anyone know anything about this?  Are there any workarounds?

      Thanks,
      Matt

        Hello Matt,

        perhaps the serial chip soldered on the board is not really supported by pfSense. And so you will be
        perhaps go and look for an usb > serial adapter that is coming with a supported chip.

          Frank,

          Thanks for your reply.

          Further troubleshooting suggests its some sort of Interrupt or addressing conflict.

          If I disable COM1, and instead enable only COM2 the system boots as expected, and at least APPEARS to have a functioning comport (I haven't had a chance to test it yet)

          It's a little bit odd.  With no addon hardware installed, on board components should by default be conflicting with each other.  I'm going to check for a BIOS update

            Odd perhaps but not really urgent, I would go then with the com2 Port to get rid of that issue and perhaps a
            usb to serial adapter brings back that second one as a replacement for that and you will be fine again.

            Might be, was that a fresh and full install? Or is that NanaoBSD?

            Would be the best in my eyes.
