Cannot open /dev/mei0: No such file or directory #3

Closed devhen closed 7 years ago

devhen commented 7 years ago

I get:

[root@localhost mei-amt-check]# ./mei-amt-check Cannot open /dev/mei0: No such file or directory

To my knowledge this machine doesn't use AMT. I'm assuming this message is functionally equivalent to getting the "Intel AMT: DISABLED" output?

Thanks

I believe that means the platform doesn't support AMT at all.

@mjg59 or perhaps the kernel module is not loaded?

On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, I had to change this from "/dev/mei0" to "/dev/mei" in the source code. The module was loaded (and showed up in "lsmod" output); it just was creating a device with a different name.

@rst Yes, I can confirm this on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host.
