      I have a strange circumstance and I'm wondering if anyone in the community can help me pinpoint the issue. I began to run into problems with installation hanging during installation of 2.5.2. I was able to successfully perform an install from safemode: on. However, it will inconsistently boot complete. Most of the time it appears to hang on HPET. Doing some verbose logging I was able to capture both a good and a failed boot.

      I've searched the forums and there has been a lot of discussion about Apollo Lake processors with FreeBSD 11. Solutions stated to add to the /boot/loader.conf.local the entry

      machdep.disable_msix_migration=1

      I've added this entry but it seems to make no difference in the frequency it actually successfully boots.

      BIOS settings I've tried include ACPI Disable and CSM with UEFI. None of which seem to matter.

      references found
      pfSense hanging / freezing on boot at HPET with J3455 CPU / Apollo Lake

      Is Apollo Lake 2.4 stability okay yet

      If anyone has any insights or if I can provide any additional information I will.
