Title: Having some issues with a url list alias and serial console.
Post by: jrschat on April 02, 2021, 05:49:12 PM
I am running 21.1.4 on a PC Engines APU2E4. I have a firewall alias configured as a URL Table point to a GitHub file that is updated nightly. The list does not seem to update either by the cron job or if I manually edit the alias.

I connected to my serial console to manually look at what is going on but something is off with the console. Upon rebooting my console never gets past the point in the linked image, https://imgur.com/a/wA2ddoA. I haven't used the console in a while but this is new behavior. I would like to figure out why I am unable to login to the console and then figure out why my alias is not updating as I expect it too.

Did you found a solution ?

I'm running OPNsense on a PC Engines APU4e4 and have almost the same issues. When I install 21.1 (OPNsense-21.1-OpenSSL-serial-amd64.img) everything runs fine but as soon as I use a newer version or upgrade the 21.1  version to something newer my serial console will only display the boot sequence until the uhub2 (usb ports) and after a while the notification my connected interfaces are up.

The webconsole works fine and toggeling the vtconsole option won't do anything. I think there is something loaded that kills the serial console, it stops always at the same moment with version 21.7

This is a problem because the apu device lacks a VGA out, only serial so I can only install 21.1 and upgrade by using the webconsole.
