      upgrade the bios of the motherboard, check if there is some options like disable PnP aware OS in your BIOS or anything related

        Yeah. To update the BIOS is a very good advice when having hardware issues.

        i don't know how to create the file loader.conf.local..

        echo "hint.acpi.0.disabled=\"1\"" >> /boot/loader.conf.local
        echo "if_em_load=\"YES\"" >> /boot/loader.conf.loc

        But i notice when i run this commad: dmesg
        i got this:

        highlight:

        em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Legacy Network Connection 1.1.0> at device 1.0 on pci3
        em0: Setup of Shared code failed
        device_attach: em0 attach returned 6
        

        This usually indicates that the OS has not full control over the hardware cause of BIOS obstructions.

          PnP aware OS

            I assume this typo error "echo "if_em_load="YES"" >> /boot/loader.conf.loc" instead i type local.
            but then my pfsense stop from booting..
            and show error:

            atpic requres a local apic

              Can you try a different slot location for the card? It may be a resource conflict.

                        I'm having this same issue with the Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter .. never had an issue with these nics in our DC's before ... I've also tried different PCI ports to no avail UPDATE: it seemed as if my NIC card was completely dead. nothing to do with pfsense
