Request to blacklist module "isst_if_mbox_msr" from Images #271

Closed balram2697 closed 3 years ago

balram2697 commented 3 years ago

Module "isst_if_mbox_msr" caused bootup hang issues on P&G servers.

According to Suse Technical Support "It looks like this isst_if_mbox_msr module is related to Intel Speed Select. However, according to /proc/cpuinfo the CPU model is Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8276L, which does not even support Intel Speed Select [1]. Why load a module for which there is no CPU support for?"

As we don't have any hardware dependency on the module "isst_if_mbox_msr" we want to add a blacklist to a modprobe.d file for the installation images going forward.
