If you're using Rose City and does not have ME firmware and struggling with
rebooting the machine. This is because broken ME firmware can contribute to long wait of
reboot. We have to changing the kernel command line to blacklist MEI driver to be loaded:
III. Enabling Intel DPDK Technology
1. Open your syslinux in VI editor eg:
# vi /media/sda/syslinux.cfg
2. Look for the line that has kernel command line which has certain similiarity
as below:
"APPEND initrd=/initrd LABEL=boot root=/dev/ram0 ....."
or
"APPEND initrd=/initrd LABEL=install root=/dev/ram0 ...."
3. Add "mei_me.blacklist=yes"at the end of that line and it will be like below:
"APPEND inird=/initRD LABEL=boot root=/dev/ram0 .... mei_me.blacklist=yes"
4. Save this syslinux.cfg
5. Boot up the Romley with this new changed.
