[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#711061: base: xorg won't start after upgrade; xorg-logs don't say any warnings or errors; maybe problems with Intel 82Q35 Express MEI Controller (dev_state = RESETING)

[Andi R.]

Package: base
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

     I think the problem was an update/upgrade after about one week, ~300 packages (I wasn't at home for a while).
     After starting my pc in the next morning, I couldn't start my xserver anymore, though there are no warnings or
     errors in the xorg.file.

     This message was printed all the time to stdout:

     [$time] mei 0000:00:00:03.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETING

     'lspci -nn' shows me that 03.0 is the Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express MEI Controller [8082:29b4] (rev 02)


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     No one from #debian-next could help me so far, so I'm filling my first bugreport. Sorry if it's very unspecific.
