All,
If you read the entire thread pointed to in #7 you would have read Intel
response to this. The thread has to do with VMWare and not Linux. VMWare is
based on a very old kernel that has some poor kernel locking issues. We
pointed this out to them and asked the question is any of the people responding
had actually seen this problem on Linux. This is where thing went awry a bit.
All (_all_) of the reports that we have so far have had this gfx panic just
before this problem comes up. The current belief is that the gfx panic is
scribbling all over our NVM space somehow. We are not sure how this is
happening. Since we can't repro the problem without this panic happing first
this is very hard for us to look at. If the gfx panic does not happen there
have been no problems reported. I do not know the status of a fix for the gfx
panic. We are working on repro cases but because the problem relies on a panic
to another driver this is very hard for us to work on. Work will continue.
