Hi Craig,

Thanks for testing and the details.

Alternatively, you can download/install this deb package, to revert your
instance back to the version in jammy-updates [1].

In this case, the support is missing in the latest dmidecode (comment #2),
so this isn't a bug, but a feature request.

I checked the git repo for changes more recent than dmidecode 3.4,
and there are none related to this area/request, afaict.

So you'd have to reach out to the dmidecode maintainers/community upstream,
and ask for this to be implemented, or write and propose the patches.

Sorry, but unfortunately this issue isn't specific to/owned by Ubuntu.

Hope this helps!

Title:
  dmidecode support for SMBIOS SPEC 3.5 for type 9  EDSFF enumeration

Status in dmidecode package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  For EDSFF slot type changes no longer indicate the PCIe Generation supported 
nor do they indicate the full formfactor. To accomodate this severa sections 
have been added in the spec as follows 7.10.10 System Slots — Slot Information 
, 7.10.11 System Slots —Slot Physical Width , 7.10.12 System Slots — Slot Pitch
  , 7.10.13 System Slots — Slot Height. Currently they do no show up in the 
dmidecode 3.3 / Jammy 
  Untested on Kinetic. 

  This is related to a previous bug as well.
