Occurs on my Toshiba Satellite P855-S5200, intel CPU, graphics, sound and wifi.
 I wasn't sure of the component selection. I set severity to critical, it may
reflect an attempt to compromise security.  Under additional information I
attached RPM info and zypper lr output.  The attachment contains the full stack
trace and diagnostic output captured from a failure of Hardware Information.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run /usr/sbin/hwinfo (or invoke via yast2->hardware->Hardware Information
2.Observe Results
3.
Actual Results:
