Subject: dmi_table counting in ipmi_si_intf.c
Date: Tue, 09 Aug 2005 16:43:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1123630997.3246.18.camel@bluecow> (raw)
I am working on getting one of the IBM blades to use ipmi and have run
into a problem. The driver doesn't load because it says it can't find
the device.
dmidecode shows that there are 39 entries and that the last one is the
BMC. I looked into dmi_table and noticed that it parses the table by
length and by number of entries. But I found that it goes from i=1 to
i<num. This causes it to skip the last entry in the table. Is there a
reason it is i=1 instead of i=0? or for that matter i<num instead of
i<=num?
Ensure that all dmi table entries get parsed.
