How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start VM w/ -smbios type=1,manufature=LENOVO
eg:/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -boot dc -cpu cpu64-rhel6,+x2apic,family=0xf -smp 4 -m 2G -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0 -k en-us -usb -device usb-tablet,id=tablet0 -device intel-hda,id=sound0 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -drive file=/home/test/rhel5.8.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,id=drive-virtio-0-0,media=disk -device virtio-blk-pci,id=virtio-0-0,drive=drive-virtio-0-0 -drive file=/home/test/RHEL5.8-Server-20120202.0-x86_64-DVD.iso,format=raw,if=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,id=drive-cdrom,media=cdrom -device ide-drive,id=cdrom,drive=drive-cdrom -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=00:00:23:12:11:81 -rtc base=utc,clock=host,driftfix=slew -name RHEL5u8 -spice port=5931,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -monitor stdio -smbios type=1,manufacture="LENOVO",product="M8300T",version=1,serial=CZC9455sc0,uuid=bf937e3e-6ac3-4337-a1b5-db18dfe8b1b3,sku=470065-200,family=Workstation

Comment 2 Ademar Reis 2012-04-02 15:45:59 UTC 
Yang, please confirm two things:

1. The manpage says it should be "manufacturer", but in your command line you used "manufacture". Please double check if it's a typo or not.

2. What's the behavior in RHEL6.2? (in other words, is it a regression?)

Thanks.
Comment 3 Gleb Natapov 2012-04-03 08:17:45 UTC 
Checked the code and it expects "manufacturer". Closing the bug. If still reproducible with correct command line then reopen it.
