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.

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.

Larz1112

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
