[bobg at box7 ~]$ uname -a

So as in the bug report I did:

[root at box7 bobg]# echo -e "blacklist mei\ninstall mei /bin/true" > 
/etc/modprobe.d/mei.conf
[root at box7 bobg]# dracut --force
[root at box7 bobg]# exit

And for the first time in many months the "garbage" I have been seeing 
at boot, which I normally ignore since it did not seem to do anyhing 
except clutter the display, the log in is nice and clear but console-1 
is still busy and xfce is on console-2?

Ther is a difference though in that it console-1 now shows at the prompt:

xfdesktop: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on x 
server :0.0

I don't know what to do about that but I'll bet if I did things would 
improve?

it's Intel having a bad-hair day. ___ Regards Frank frankly3d.com
