Errors in pfsense 1.2.3-RC1

serialdie · Jun 22, 2009, 11:37 PM

I am using an Alix 2C3 with the following config:

1.2.3-RC2
built on Fri Jun 19 23:23:46 EDT 2009
FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p1 i386

When I do a dmesg I see the following errors


pnpbios: Bad PnP BIOS data checksum

ACPI Error (tbxfroot-0308): A valid RSDP was not found [20070320]
ACPI: Table initialisation failed: AE_NOT_FOUND
ACPI: Try disabling either ACPI or apic support.

Any ideas whats going on?

I get this on my ALIX too.

http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Booting_Options

Disable ACPI from the shell ( Option 8 ) on console and issue following command.

echo "hint.acpi.0.disabled=1" >> /boot/loader.conf

I believe if you do a firmware upgrade you will have to reissue this command as it will be overwritten.
