      It loads the ZFS kernel module. That is required if you are using the ZFS filesystem.

        thanks for the reply. as I understand there is no way to continue using of Fujitsu S940 for Pfsense.
        Being not able to reboot normally sounds critical for firewall. There is a bug somewhere in the 2.7.1, because the previous version 2.7.0 works without a problem on the same hardware.
        I also tried installing 2.7.1 on a new SSD, which led to the same boot failure.
        If there would be an idea what I should change or correct in the installed 2.7.1 instance, please advise.

          Does it support legacy (BIOS) install rather than UEFI? That would likely boot fine.

            Unfortunately there is no CSM options in the BIOS. Only UEFI is available.
            I would be thankful for an advice on how to troublshoot the UEFI boot.
            For some reason only booting with Verbose-ON works. I do not know what does it change, but it somehow works.
            I do not think it's a hardware incompatibility, because otherwise it would not boot at all.
            If there is no solution and nobody can check the bug in CE 2.7.1 installation it makes no sense to continue chatting. It does not even make sense to think abou upgrading to Plus version.
            Thanks for your efforts
