dmidecode not working?

[Chris Kloiber]

Let me start by saying this may or may not be a Fedora issue.

I recently purchased two Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P motherboards and am 
running F12 on them. The marketing for these boards say they support 
SMBIOS 2.4 and DMI, yet dmidecode says:

[root at phoenix ~]# dmidecode
# dmidecode 2.10
# No SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found, sorry.

What could be wrong? I've never seen a system that fails on this command 
before, and now I have two of them? They also have a problem with the 
on-board LAN and probably Firewire. Neither onboard NIC is working, the 
first shows a MAC of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. The other looks ok, but fails to 
work. Disabling the on-board NICs and using an off-board, PCI NIC works. 
The Firewire controller (granted I don't really use it), also identifies 
itself oddly:

firewire_ohci 0000:06:07.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 23
firewire_ohci: Added fw-ohci device 0000:06:07.0, OHCI version 1.10
firewire_core: created device fw0: GUID 0000000000000000, S400

I suspect these are all related. Possibly a bad BIOS although both 
systems are fully updated in that respect. Anyone else have a similar issue?
