Public bug reported: FAILED [HIGH] DMIStringIndexOutOfRange: Test 1, Out of range string index 0x06 while accessing entry 'Portable Battery (Type 22)' @ 0x000e7017, field 'Device Chemistry', offset 0x09
ADVICE: DMI strings are stored in a manner that uses a special index to fetch the Nth string from the data. For this particular DMI string the index given is not in range which means this particular entry is broken. The Linux kernel does not use this string, so this error will not cause any system errors. ADVICE: It may be worth checking against section 7.23 of the System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) Reference Specification (see http://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios). I realize that this will not cause any issues on the system, but perhaps this error should be demoted to Medium?
