      also in hopes of trying to get some use of 2.2 I have a Intel 82546 dual nic card.. This works fine in 2.1.5 64bit but locks the 2.2 beta in the booting.

      screen 1st capture is of 2.1.5 64 bit running on a CDRom.

      screen 2nd capture is of 2.2 64 dec 4th running on CDRom failing at this point staying locked

        Try disabling msi/msi-x:

          I don't think MSI will fix it; the resources can't even be allocated.

          Seems to have started in freebsd 9.2: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mailing.freebsd.current/AePu1kitjLY  Not sure if that patch ever made it into 9.3 or 10.1, or if that was even the proper fix.

            Could be two different issues here. One NIC type fails to attach, the other crashes the boot.
            Could we see a complete boot log, /var/log/dmedg.boot, from 2.2 with only the 2 on-board NICs?

                Try disabling msi/msi-x:
                https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Tuning_and_Troubleshooting_Network_Cards#MSI.2FMSIX

                Tried this and nothing changed at all.. still only 1 built on lan port works.  This is not too much of problem right at moment cause I am using not fast internet so my USB - LAN 100 works ok for the slow speed.  But I plan to get much faster and I need the 1gig built on to work

                  Did you have that enabled during the above boot? I still see:

                      @charliem:

                      Not sure if that patch ever made it into 9.3 or 10.1

                      Looks like it's in 10.1:

                        So wonder how to get this dual nic to show 2 nics not just 1 in pfsense 2.2?

                          Hard to believe you're the first person to run into this. More Googling required.
                          Since this appears to be a resource allocation problem it could be a bios bug. You could try disabling acpi or/and disabling any devices you're not using, sound card, parallel port etc.

                            Still not giving up, if one works and the driver is in Freebsd then there is some way to get the second port of the Intel 82546 dual nic built on the motherboard.  Below is the command pciconf.  I believe I see the device listed there that is missing

                              I have updated the bios from 2007 version to a 2009 latest one they had.  I even played with jumpers to disable the working one and then the other worked.. So both will work but only 1 at a time.

                                Yep that's it but it doesn't help much. Actually reading back through the boot log most of the errors are not directly about the NICs but the buses/bridges the are attached to.
                                The thing with the most errors is pcib1 ,PCI bridge 1. That appears to be connecting PCI bus 0 to PCI bus 2. These are not necessarily PCI buses as you might think of them, they could be PCIe or AGP or some thing else.
                                PCI bridge 2 connects PCI bus 0 to PCI bus 6. The first NIC that fails to attach to a driver is on PCI bus 6.
                                PCI bridge 3 connects PCI bus 0 to PCI bus 7. The NIC that works is on bus 7.
                                Both these PCI bridges are showing the same allocation errors yet one is functioning just fine.

                                Those errors, though not good, may be not relevent. Do you see anything like that under 2.1.5?

                                You could try booting in verbose mode to see if any further errors are given.
                                I was sure there was on option to do this in 2.2  but I can't find it now  ??? so just add boot_verbose="1" to loader.conf.local.

                                    Long shot but try this:

                                    If additionally DMA-Support for VT-d is disabled, it also works with FreeBSD (9.1).

                                    I assume in the BIOS.

                                      In looking around maybe this has something to do with it.

                                      They say the last driver dated 4 months ago only supports the 9.x kernals of Freebsd.  Maybe this is why it breaks in 10.1?

                                        I did not find any DMA stuff in bios.. As far as ACPI I turned that off and pfsense would not boot then.. I turned off shadowing and all kinds of stuff nothing makes a difference.

                                          Updated to the 2.2 Dec 10th RC version.  Still same, I tried to put in a wifi PCI card in the system and it did same as the dual nic card bv intel I tried also

                                          Seems what ever is messing up em1 from working anything else in the system will not run except USB -Network

                                          The wifi Card I tried  was the wmp54gs pci… It failed and locked like the intel dual nic PCI card did showing this message (see picture)

                                            That card should be supported by the bwn or bwi drivers, depending which version you have, but you need the firmware for it and I've seen it give others trouble before. Still shouldn't be hanging there though.  :-
                                            Do you have the ports on the Intel NIC connected and up when booting? I've read some posts saying that makes a difference.
