[oi-dev] ddu dmi_info

[stes@PANDORA.BE]

I'm impressed by OpenIndiana installing and running fine on this Dell Precision.

However the  "ddu" (device detection utility) is not reporting some info.

The underlying problem seems to be :

# /usr/ddu/bin/i386/dmi_info -C
error open smbios

Usage: dmi_info [BCDMmPS]
       -B: print BIOS information 
       -C: print Processor number and core number
       -D: print PCI Controllers information
       -M: print Motherboard information
       -m: print memory subsystem information
       -P: print Processor informationIn the UEFI Shell, the SmbiosView command can retrieve and display the SMBIOS data
       -S: print System information
       -h: for help

So basically this tool (used to 'probe') seems not be working for me.

I'm no expert in this, but I guess this is related to UEFI and,
the tool must be updated to access this DMI info from UEFI
