We found this during certification testing of a couple models from one
OEM that apparently use SMIBIOS 3.0.
The failed test shows this in the output:
mmap: Can't map beyond end of file /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI
Table is unreachable, sorry.
*** Incorrect or unknown server chassis type!
Failed 1 test (see above)
We also capture output of dmidecode in the test logs, on the 3.0 system
this is all we get in output:
# dmidecode 3.0
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 3.0.0 present.
Table at 0x7BB4E000.
** Changed in: dmidecode (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed

Status in dmidecode package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:

problem.
