I can get mainboard data in my dmesg on this machine and was surprised no one else could. Is this mainboard specific? I ask this because I ran the same command on my other box and it didn't show anything. Wierd... mine does not show nothing neither machine
The feature being described is the DMI scanner in the kernel, which on some versions (Mostly -ac kernels) was set to verbose, and printed such info during boot. You can grab a userspace tool to print these tables from ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/alan/DMI/dmidecode.c (Needs to run as root) regards, Dave. -- | Dave Jones. http://www.suse.de/~davej | SuSE Labs
