After disabling Intel ME in the laptop BIOS, the kern.log began to be flooded with thousands of such entries (approximately every 0.5s): $ dmesg intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: ME failed to update for more than 1s, likely hung
On some forum I found this advice: 1. add intel_ips to the blacklist echo "blacklist intel_ips" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf 2. add i915 and intel_ips to /etc/modules echo -e "i915\nintel_ips" >> /etc/modules I only made the first point and the log flood was over. Two questions: 1. Could disabling the intel_ips kernel module completely have harmful consequences for Debian 11? 2. What's the point of the advice in step 2 to first add intel_ips to the blacklist and then re-enable it in /etc/modules? Does it make sense? Cheers!
