Smolt vs. dmidecode - users - Fedora mailing-lists

1 May 2007


      Just a curious point.
I noted that my smolt profile doesn't indicate my system's motherboard
model/revision information.  I guess ASUS just never got around to
filling in the bits at whatever location smolt is looking.

It also seems that dmidecode pulls that information, but is is able to
get the mobo model/revision info from the BIOS at a different location:

Any chance that smolt can be modified in the same way?  Just a thought.
