Re: [dmidecode] Fixing "DMI table is broken!" error

[Kevin Wilson]

Hi, Erwan,
Thanks.
I ran this sequence now:
git clone https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/git/dmidecode.git
make
and
./dmidecode

And got the same:

# dmidecode 3.1
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 2.5 present.
94 structures occupying 3566 bytes.
Table at 0xBF7D9000.

Invalid entry length (0). DMI table is broken! Stop

Any ideas ?

Regards,
Kevin
