The DMI scanner is getting this info from somewhere on the mainboard then, I take it.
Nod, Tables held in the BIOS.
Everyone that's using Suse 7.X right out of the box (kernel NOT upgraded)...their kernel should be using DMI scanner in verbose mode then?
Some early SuSE kernels may have had this in verbose mode, yes. More recent ones have it turned off iirc.
If so, they should be seeing mainboard data when they use 'dmesg | grep "Board", right?
*nod*
So far, I think I'm the only one here who has seen his mainboard data in 'dmesg'. Then again, I'm probably the only one here who's running Suse 7.1 with the STOCK kernels. :o)
That would explain it :) regards, Dave. -- | Dave Jones. http://www.suse.de/~davej | SuSE Labs
