Dear Support,



I tried to install the latest stable pfsense 1.2 on a brand new Dell

With the default (ACPI enabled) install It came back to me with this error:

I'll trade you that machine for one that works. ;-)



Seriously though, disable the ACPI in the bios. There was just a thread on
a similar problem yesterday. See here:

One word of caution is that using such a super fast machine may cause more harm than good. It may make some packets reach destination before they are expected to or allowed to causing total chaos and anarchy in the IP domain.

Be careful
