We just got some r630s too, so I spent some time last week figuring out what's
going on here. Something in the AML wants to talk to the intel MEI device.
Normally this works, but on the new generation of dell machines (we've seen it
on r630s and r730s), it's been moved outside the pci memory range we currently
allow on amd64. You can see this in your dmesgs:
0:22:0: mem address conflict 0x33ffff03000/0x10
0:22:1: mem address conflict 0x33ffff02000/0x10
The interrupt will keep triggering until it manages to talk to the device,
which will never happen.
kettenis@ says we can get the pci memory range information we need to deal with
this from acpi. Until that happens, expanding the allowed pci memory range
makes things work properly.
Hi,
on R630 i have custom bios settings and noticed that even if C states
are disabled in bios i can see them in dmesg
acpicpu0 at acpi0: C1
acpicpu1 at acpi0: C1
acpicpu2 at acpi0: C1
acpicpu3 at acpi0: C1
acpicpu4 at acpi0: C1
acpicpu5 at acpi0: C1
acpicpu6 at acpi0: C1
acpicpu7 at acpi0: C1
X2Apic is disabled too but in dmesg i see
cpu0: FPU,CPI,.......SSE4.1,SSE4.2,x2APIC
This is not good, right?
