I found a bug running from RC1, when PfSense is installed on an Alix Board
with a Geode proc, the os will not boot to the end. I troubleshooted and I
found out that the problem came from watchdogd. I commented out the line and
now it Works pretty well. This Watchdog is only launched if a Geode Proc is
found.
I am not seeing this bug on my Alix board. Make sure your BIOS is the
latest and greatest.
I've had exactly the same problem with a brand new alix2c3 = 3 LAN / 1
miniPCI / LX800 / USB (Shipped two days ago).
It booted up until the watchdog loaded where it completely froze.
As Scott suggested, a bios update fixed my problem as well.
It's funny if you compare the dmesg output of those two bios versions.
With 0.98 you have an "audio" device
pci0: <multimedia, audio> at device 15.3 (no driver attached)
With 0.99 this is gone again.
BTW: That's the output for the CPU, if it is of any interest.

Scot: I think this board could be included in the Wiki as one on which
you can run the embedded image.
