patch to use dmidecode as an expresscard slot detection
I couldn't find what object we're storing the dmidecode data in the harness, it didn't look like we were so I just added a new call. This over time should probably just be part of the hardware dictionary object? Also I only added detection but from the output I think we could look for multiple stanza's with express card, and use the count of those as the number of expresscard slots. Unfortunately I have no way to test that as my box only has a single slot
Patch appears to be present, and expresscard at least partially pass. Tests with the USB expresscard pass as expected, tests for pcie on expresscard fail due to lack of a peripheral. Will retry later with a drive attached. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2013-1515.html |
Description of problem: Currently the expresscard test uses battery + pcie + usb to say there is probably an expresscard slot. At least recent versions of dmidecode provide expresscard data, though it must be researched which versions in RHEL6.x provide this and which versions provide correct information and how often some set of laptop vendors properly populate this field. Additional info: From a Lenovo X220 [rlandry@unused ~]$ rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release redhat-release-server-6Server-6.4.0.4.el6.x86_64 [rlandry@unused ~]$ uname -a Linux unused 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jan 29 11:47:41 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@unused ~]# rpm -q dmidecode dmidecode-2.11-2.el6_1.x86_64 Handle 0x0027, DMI type 9, 17 bytes System Slot Information Designation: ExpressCard Slot Type: x1 PCI Express Current Usage: Available Length: Other ID: 1 Characteristics: Hot-plug devices are supported Bus Address: 0000:00:00.0 ...My understanding is the x1 is referring to the capabilities of the slot, and the fact that there is only a single entry is referring to there being a single slot.
