At least it hasn't resetted me yet ... well, maybe I wouldn't know about it.  A
reset is kinda severe.

Aren't you 'hw' yourself? Or is that a mere coincidence I would've done
well to ignore? (Or is the machine trying to tell you something more
personal? That would be frightening.)

Thanks.  Of course I did search and it was unclear if I should just disable the
module, so I thought I'd better ask.

If you use Google to search for mei_me you'll lots o similar reports
going back a decade, e.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=168403

These seem to suggest blacklisting the module or disabling Management
Engine Interface in the BIOS.

blacklist mei_me?

2022-11-15 Thread hw


Hi,

this module causes delays when booting and I'm finding this in dmesg:


[   14.889003] mei_me :00:16.0: hw_reset failed ret = -62
[   20.009003] mei_me :00:16.0: hw_reset failed ret = -62
[   25.129003] mei_me :00:16.0: hw_reset failed ret = -62
[   25.129315] mei_me :00:16.0: reset: reached maximal consecutive resets:
disabling the device
[   25.129797] mei_me :00:16.0: reset failed ret = -19
[   25.130086] mei_me :00:16.0: link layer initialization failed.
[   25.130431] mei_me :00:16.0: init hw failure.
[   25.130745] mei_me :00:16.0: initialization failed.


Should I just blacklist it or is that a bad idea?  Apparently whatever it is for
gets disabled anyway and it doesn't seem to be a disadvantage other than causing
delays.
