They're not when things are not. In my case, things are not and, sadly, the tools are largely useless -- I'm going to have to write my own. I can run this on the dell, and the decode-dimms will gladly tell me there is no memory. Bummer! :-) A further problem is the lm_sensors guys don't always understand Unix (a common problem nowadays :-) or decode-dimms would be two tools: 1. get_spd 2. decode_spd which would make part 2 independent of part 1. Then, I could easily feed my output from serialice into decode_spd and have it say "WOW! That's bogus!". Maybe as part of this I can bust decode-dimms into two pieces as well ... thanks, though, my goal is to have decode-dimms work well on the dell. Hopefully won't take too long ... ron -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
