Hi there,
I found a quite interesting file: arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c
It should print some DMI values at boot. As far as I remember, I've seen
these at times of 2.4.0 or so. Now these outputs are deactivated with a
#define dmi_printk(x)
Can someone explain why this has been deactivated? I would find these
values quite useful!
TIA, Michael

Shouldn't that be "un"activated? (Sorry...couldn't resist).

They take up a lot of boot log space and you can recover them later. Take a
look at dmiscan.c on
