I'm trying to disable inteldrm from loading on my headless firewall, because it slows down my system, but I can't make the change stick after another reboot.
After upgrading to 7.2 I noticed a higher than usual load average on my openbsd firewall. A system process called drmwq seems to be responsible for this if I'm understanding systat pigs correctly. Seeing that this is a part of the inteldrm, I've disabled inteldrm in the kernel and rebooted and noticed that my system seems back to normal levels. Unfortunately after a reboot this morning, inteldrm is back. This box is a headless box and I don't know why drmwq is doing whatever it is doing, but I seem to be fine with it disabled. I realize I shouldn't disable things if I don't know what I'm doing, but I don't know what else I can do to with this drmwq process. How can I keep inteldrm disabled after reboots? I'm running current (Nov 10 snapshot) I've disabled intel drm this way: # config -ef /bsd ukc> disable inteldrm ukc> quit # sha256 -h /var/db/kernel.SHA256 /bsd # reboot The device I'm using:
