I got a new pfsense box to get ready for 2.5.
So i got a Qotom 7500U
When i start it from USB to do the installation i get a error
sdhci_pci1_slot0 controller timeout.
i did search and found some people that said.
Pfsense works well but will require “hw.sdhci.enable_msi=0” to be added to /boot/loader.conf to prevent timeouts on the sdhci controller when booting.
and “hint.sdhci_pci.0.disabled=1” to /boot/devices.hints
this didnt work. It still gives the error it takes about 2-3 minutes of this error then it boots to pfsense and everything works.
It isnt that much of a problem as long as it keeps running and i wont reset it often anyway. Only when there is a update it will be rebooted. Or if hte power goes out for longer then 2 hours (UPS).

another question is how can i make a backup of my current one and put it back on the new one. I tried the build in Auto Configuration backup. But that one doesnt seem to install the plugins etc.
