Re: 3.0 -> 3.10 regression? poweroff instead of reboot?

Hi Tomas,

bad news, we just had failed boot with 3.10.35 with your patch:

last line was:

mei_me 0000:00:16.0: wait hw ready failed. status = -110

so it can probably happen that boot hangs on mei_me init attempt..

colleague just told me it also happened to him with 3.13 kernel,
however I don't have more info on that case..

if I can provide more information, please let me know.

BR
