Topic

Updated dmidecode packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The dmidecode packages provide utilities for extracting x86 and Intel Itanium
hardware information from the system BIOS or EFI, depending on the SMBIOS/DMI
standard. This information typically includes system manufacturer, model name,
serial number, BIOS version, and asset tag.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the dmidecode utility did not support the DDR4 memory

type. Consequently, when running dmidecode on hardware that was using DDR4, the
type of the memory device was not recognized and was identified as "out of
spec". With this update, dmidecode identifies the DDR4 correctly in the
described situation. (BZ#1229722)

Users of dmidecode are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
