OK, that makes sense. Would you be able to provide to me (privately) a dump of the DMI table of one of these systems, so that I can test the patch myself and also include it in my non-regression test suite? You can obtain a binary dump of the DMI table with: # dmidecode --dump-bin filename.dmi Thanks, -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support
