OK, I'll give it a test later tonight when I get home and I'll report back.

Boot, lagg and e1000 issues all seem to be resolved with latest build.

I did notice that dhcpv6 client stopped working for me after 10/1 updates, but will look at that separately.

@Quarkz I doubt pfSense activates invariants.

@chrcoluk read the Bug #10956 from links below in redmine. Invarients are mentioned as the cause for that LAGG issue. Not sure on the EFI issue.

DHCPv6c stopped for me too

It looks to have resolved the boot issue for me. I'll continue to test and report back if it does fail but I think the boot issue has been resolved.

about the efi part, i found out that using sata instead of scsi controller under esxi solved the boot problem for me
scsi controller is the default for esxi
@w0w posted a screenshot of Virtualbox where Controller is IDE

but there are other thread with similar problem, in any case i suspect something is wrong with freebsd + efi

@kiokoman Your first link describes a problem with 2.4.5-p1 which the problem in this topic is using a 2.5 snapshot so not the same problem.

My boot issues were also experienced using physical hardware, BIOS settings hadn't changed and the issue only appeared when using recent 2.5 snapshots, version 2.4.5-p1 was fine.

Right ok, surprised that pfSense left that on.

On every version?

@romprod the problem is the same to me, there are some incompatibility with some bios / settings and freebsd, what i want to say is to read that redmine for possible workaround

@Bob-Dig it sure is for esxi 6.7 and esxi 7.0 with guest os family "other" and Guest os version "freebsd"

@maverick_slo for me dhcp6c not running was caused by a change in rtsold and I was able to get it working. see https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/10965
