Hi Philip,

Thank you very much for your answer.

I tried to disable all options (+devices) possible. Same issue.
And what's about disable acpi in the kernel using the bsd.re-config?

Do you think If I replace the wireless card by somthing else, It could resolve 
this issue?

The screenshots show that the fault happens during a wifi interrupt that 
catches the ACPI thread processing a very deeply nested AML code.  I suspect 
it's actually running out of kernel stack space as a result.
Everything below is based on that hypothesis.

So, the first thing to try is to see if there's a BIOS update newer than the 
2018 rev it currently has.  They may have optimized the AML code, or at least 
made it less deeply nested.

Another possibility is to see if there's a device you can disable that would 
result in that AML not being called.  If there's anything that you aren't using 
then disable it in the BIOS and hope.

The last possibility would be to build a kernel which allocates more pages per 
thread for its kernel stack by bumping the UPAGES #define in 
/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/include/param.h and building a new kernel.  It's really 
only the ACPI thread that needs this, but we don't currently have code to 
control that on a per-thread basis.
