The new alix2c3 (alix2c3 = 3 LAN / 1 miniPCI / LX800 / USB) doesn't work with the pfsense1.2RC2 WRAP image. After booting up I get the following error message (see below). With the m0n0wall it works, but I have to change the interface as they are named new vr0..2 instead of sis0..2 (WRAP)...

Suspect USB. Can you disable USB??

[Clown]

No, in the "bios" I can only configurate the serial port.

Hi!

I have just received exactly the same Alix as you. Just mounted, just new (30 mn ago)

It seems that we have the same bios version (0.98b), but I'm running 1.2RC3.

The box doesn't fail on USB like you but after on starting DHCP service. I'm trying to find a solution.

Maybe could you try to use the lastest 1.2RC3 snapshot and confirm?

Regards

PS : did you receive chocolate from Switzerland too?

[jahonix]

This might be the latest snapshot itself!
Another user seems to have the same issue:
 http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,6736.0/topicseen.html
He only mentions a PC running pfSense which is unlikely to be an ALIX

Wait for one of the developers to look into this - or try an older snapshot.

[luma]

Here is part of my boot process without WAN port attached. Same result with it plugged.

No error message. With my PC set up (static IP), I can ping LAN port before DHCP is started. After no way.

Clown: You need to use 1.2RC3, it's the first version that works on ALIX.
http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1_2/

luma: Any BIOS newer than 0.92 has introduced BIOS bug(s) that cause boot failures. PC Engines is working on a fix, right now the only BIOS version that will work is 0.92.

[Clown]

PS : did you receive chocolate from Switzerland too?

I'm swiss, so I can buy chocolate by miself

cmb: So I need also to downgrade the bios to version 0.92?

[Clown]

With pfsense1.2RC3 it's working. But what bios version do I have, I thought it's 0.98b???

[Clown]

It's not realy working, pfsense come's up at console then I have to set the new names for the network interfaces (vr0..2). After setting this I get the following errors on console:

After that nothing workes, the network interfaces don't work, neither I don't get a console menu.

Clown : we have the same error...

cmb : I'm now trying to downgrade Bios version. I have now problem with creating a bootable Freedos image on 1GB CF...

[luma]

- Downgraded to bios 0.92
- pfSense 1.2RC3 (11/07/2007)

Works great!!!

[EarlBacid]

Where can I get the 0.92 BIOS?

[luma]

http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2.htm

I managed to get the 128MB FreeDos image running on my 1GB CF using WinImage. I don't really know how, because I tried too much things too much time... Sorry

[Clown]

With 0.92 pfsense comes up, but still is very slow on booting because of error messages...
