Not entirely. Failing the driver load leaves the system without a display / console. Disabling GPU execution is one response, but that is likely to happen if the w/a requirement was severe enough. We are not expecting to see an -EIO at this point in the init sequence and all other errors abort the driver load. -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
