      Anyone experiencing 20 minute boot times on 2.2?

      I had a 4 port Gigabit NIC installed on my 2.1.5 setup and just moved to a Dell 1950 with the 4 port NIC and have since put in my loader.conf

      kern.ipc.nmbclusters="131072"
      hw.bce.tso_enable=0
      hw.pci.enable_msix=0
      hw.igb.num_queues=1
      

      Per the instructions on https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Tuning_and_Troubleshooting_Network_Cards

      and for some reason I'm getting 10 to 20 minute boot times. The system pauses at….

      Configuring firewall. bce0: Gigabit link up!
      igb0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
      igb0: Queue(0) tdh / 16, hw tdt = 23
      igb0: TX(0) desc avail = 30000,Next TX to Clean = 65535
      mfi0: 16453 (475493979s/0x0000/info) - Battery relearn pending: Battery is under charge
      igb0: Watchdog timeout -- resetting
      igb: Queue(0) tdh = 0, hw tdt = 3
      igb0: TX(0) desc avail = 30000,Next TX to Clean = 65535
      

      And just keeps repeating the igb0 messages

      Any ideas?
