I ran the script, output:

Checking hardware requirements                             [  OK  ]
Checking for SMBIOS type 41 support                        [FAILED]
Checking for SMBIOS type 9 support                         [  OK  ]
Checking for PCI Interrupt Routing support                 [  OK  ]

The instructions say:

"If the output of the script is [ OK ] and any of the following checks 
is [ OK ], your hardware is supported by biosdevname".

So, what's wrong?
