      Are the firmware errors normal?

      I noticed it failed to load rc, and then went into single user mode.

      Are the errors in the boot loader normal?

        I don't know. Never realized them. I've not installed the serial version and will see if this helps.

            Mmm, it has bad ACPI tables which can cause problems with power. Make sure you have the latest BIOS on there.

              This is my SSH port. I changed it.

              I'm having the latest BIOS on it. Should I disable ACPI on pfSense?

              Or is there something in BIOS I should change?

                ACPI disabled completely is usually very bad on modern hardware. You might be able to get back the functionality though some of those settings. I can't really say though.

                  Well everything seems to work fine. I don‘t know which setting I should use.

                    'Enable ACPI Auto Configuration' doesn't seem like a terrible place to start. Never tried that personally though.

                        Did you ever get an upgraded bios file for the Q575G6?

                          Unfortunately no but the problem disappeared. Maybe it was something else I don't know.
