I was running some tests of HVM guests on Fedora Core 6, test3 and came across a potential issue with SMBIOS data. When running dmidecode in the guest VMs it reports that the actual SMBIOS data size, does not match the advertised size. eg "Wrong DMI structures length: 439 bytes announced, structures occupy 363 bytes." I've tried this in a variety of guest OS (RHEL-3 32-bit, RHEL-3 64-bit, RHEL-4 64-bit) all the same results. The host is running FC6 test3, but the bit of code responsible for constructing the SMBIOS tables is identical to that on the vanilla xen-unstable.hg repository. I'm not familiar enough with SMBIOS specs / code to determine where the mistake in the length calculation is though... Is anyone else seeing this length mismatch in HVM guests ? FYI, we're tracking this as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207501 Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
