Hi, Well, the first line, "efi: EFI v2.31 by American Megatrends", is (almost for sure) from /arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c (assuming this is intel machine; you only replied that it is 64 bit machine, I assume that it is intel). I am not sure that this indeed says that the EFI is active. does efi_en

Thanks Steven. Following Bill Davidsen comment - did you ran it on a machine where UEFI is not active ? And if the answer is yes, do you known what do you get when you run it on a machine where UEFI is active ? regards, Kevin On Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 12:11 AM, Steven Stern wrote: > On 02/18/2013

Hi, What do you mean by telling "if UEFI is active you can't run dmidecode". What happens when you run "dmidecode" on a console of a machine where UEFI is active? do you get an an error ? rgs Kevin On Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 11:41 PM, Bill Davidsen wrote: > Kevin Wilson wrote: >> >> Hi, >> Is there
