[Bug 1397414] Re: mei module occasionally hangs boot on ASRock E3C226D2I

 

Christian Reis, could you please test the latest upstream kernel
available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release
names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily
folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will
allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly shown as:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.18-rc6

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil
icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  mei module occasionally hangs boot on ASRock E3C226D2I

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The default install of 14.04 loads the mei module for this
  motherboard, and it occasionally causes boot to hang with a message:

      mei: init hw failure.

  Right after the btrfs scan. This has been experienced elsewhere it
  seems:

     http://www.thomas-
  krenn.com/en/wiki/Resolve_mei:_Init_hw_failure_or_mei:_initialization_failed

  For background, this motherboard has a Xeon E3-1270. I don't think the
  C226 even has MEI/vPro on it, so we should probably just blacklist for
  the moment.
