[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1462822] Re: Kernel configuration parameter CONFIG_DEVMEM is not set, it should be
The kernel configuration is O.K. with respect to this issue as of kernel 4.1, and dmidecode works. Thanks. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1462822 Title: Kernel configuration parameter CONFIG_DEVMEM is not set, it should be Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: There is a relatively new kernel configuration parameter, CONFIG_DEVMEM.

On IRC apw asked me to enter this bug report and to assign it to him. By the way, I compiled 4.1RC6 changing from #CONFIG_DEVMEM is not set to CONFIG_DEVMEM=y myself and now dmidecode works fine.
