Warning of issues on installation of FreeNAS 11.1 and Apollo Lake CPU

[DrexLock]

There appears to be a known issues with FreeBSD/FreeNAS 11.1 and Apollo Lake Celeron Processors. The installation/boot process will hang on hpet. You can work around this by editing Grub during installation to include:

Code:

set kFreeBSD.machdep.disable_msix_migration="1"
set kFreeBSD.hint.hpet.0.clock="0

Or if you roll back to the earlier 11.0-RELEASE the error does not seem to be present and installation/boot go through without issue or modification. This appears to be an issue with FreeBSD 11.1 and is not unique to FreeNAS 11.1.
