Topic

An updated dmidecode package that fixes one bug and adds one enhancement is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The dmidecode package provides utilities for extracting x86 and Intel Itanium
hardware information from the system BIOS or EFI (Extensible Firmware
Interface), depending on the SMBIOS/DMI standard. This information typically
includes system manufacturer, model name, serial number, BIOS version, and asset
tag as well as other details, depending on the manufacturer. This often includes
usage status for the CPU sockets, expansion slots such as AGP, PCI and ISA,
among others, memory module slots, and many different kinds of I/O ports, such
as serial, parallel and USB.

Prior to this update, the extended records for the DMI types Memory Device (DMI
type 17) and Memory Array Mapped Address (DMI type 19) were missing from the
dmidecode utility output. With this update, dmidecode has been upgraded to
upstream version 2.11, which updates support for the SMBIOS specification to
version 2.7.1, thus fixing this bug. Now, the dmidecode output contains the
extended records for DMI type 17 and DMI type 19. (BZ#654833)

All users of dmidecode are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes this bug and adds this enhancement.

Solution

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

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat
Network to apply this update are available at
