Description of problem: From upstream bug report: > DMI string system-manufacturer: "# SMBIOS implementations newer than version 2.6 are not" > DMI string system-product-name: "# SMBIOS implementations newer than version 2.6 are not" > DMI string system-version: "# SMBIOS implementations newer than version 2.6 are not" > DMI string baseboard-manufacturer: "# SMBIOS implementations newer than version 2.6 are not" > DMI string baseboard-product-name: "# SMBIOS implementations newer than version 2.6 are not" > DMI string baseboard-version: "# SMBIOS implementations newer than version 2.6 are not" > DMI string chassis-type: "# SMBIOS implementations newer than version 2.6 are not" > Now this is a serious problem. Apparently dmidecode in Fedora has a patch in the RPM (dmidecode-warn-on-unsupported-smbios-version.patch) which breaks the original documented output format. If this only affected the board enables, it wouldn't be that bad (failing/corrupting writes on a few dozen boards which can be fixed interactively), but it also completely disables laptop detection and that means Fedora will get bug reports about hard lockups and/or disabled fans on laptops. I don't want to blame Fedora because this is a patch hand-picked from upstream dmidecode. We'll add a workaorund to flashrom ASAP. http://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2010-July/004084.html Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): flashrom 0.9.2 How reproducible: I don't even want to try :-)
Thanks for the report.
Anton's taking care of dmidecode these days, not I.
