Rhel 7.2 can display smibios 3.0 on the same system without a problem. [FIX] Let read_file return the actual data size http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dmidecode.git/commit/?id=de9a74e1c60210bee229fcf55b1678a99d1b44dd dmidecode: Use read_file() to read the DMI table from sysfs http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dmidecode.git/commit/?id=364055211b1956539c6a6268e111e244e1292c8c There's also a couple other SMBIOS 3.0 related fixes that is listed as recomended for 3.0 on http://dmidecode.nongnu.org/ Fix 'No SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found' on SMBIOS3 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dmidecode.git/commit/?id=bf7bad24ce141dab5b5acc3ffb98ce5fe4a8e0f9 Use DWORD for Structure table maximum size in SMBIOS3 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dmidecode.git/commit/?id=ab02b117511230e46bbef7febbd854b9c832c13c Without the fix, dmidecode fails to display SMBIOS 3.0 tables. With the fix the headers can be decoded correctly. [REGRESSION POTENTIAL] Could break existing dmi table decoding. However, this has been tested on pre 3.0 and 3.0 SMBIOS tables, so the risk seems minimal as it works on a range of DMI table versions.
