21.1 Legacy Series / Serial Console stopped working
« on: May 20, 2021, 05:10:07 pm »
I have serial console set as my primary console in settings and it's no longer working.
I've checked the device, cable, and serial port are all fine. When I restart I can see output from the serial port (OPNsense splashscreen and and device loading lines on boot up) but after OPNsense loads the serial console stops responding. No console menu for login and no response to keyboard commands.
The serial console used to work fine, but some recent update changed that. I see in the change log some mention of "system: better logic for serial console options -h and -D" is there something I need set to restore the serial console functionality?
