I have a xen 4.1.1 with a 3.0.4 linux kernel running on a Supermicro Supermicro X8DTL-iF motherboard with 16GB of RAM. If I run the 3.0.4 kernel on the bare metal dmidecode works fine. If I run it under xen dmidecode fails to work. On other systems with different hardware but identical software dmidecode works correctly under xen. On this hardware with xen 3.4.1 & linux 2.6.18, dmidecode works correctly under xen. The error message suggests to me that the bios data is partially available as it gets the number of structures correct, but is corrupted fairly early on. There are no DomUs running on the system. I have attached a good and a bad dmidecode output log.
