Created attachment 409441 [details] Content from /usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/hardware.py to reproduce the error Description of problem: When /usr/sbin/rhn-profile-sync runs, we get this error from python-dmidecode: python: src/dmidecode.c:4083: dmi_decode: Assertion `sub_n != ((void *)0)' failed. Aborted Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dmidecode-2.10-3.el5 python-dmidecode-3.10.8-4.el5 How reproducible: Every time on two different hardware models (three boxes): * HP Compaq dc7100 SFF(DX878AV) * HP Compaq dc7100 SFF(PE218ET) Steps to Reproduce: I'll add a small python-script which can be used to reproduce the error on the three boxes we experience problems. Actual results: nemi /# /tmp/pydmitest python: src/dmidecode.c:4083: dmi_decode: Assertion `sub_n != ((void *)0)' failed. Aborted nemi /# Expected results: mariner /# /tmp/pydmitest mariner /#
