Hi All,

With Yi's original patch + this patch + changes for the the ID above, I 
am able to parse the SMBIOS information (shown below).

bios_date = 12/12/2012
bios_vendor = American Megatrends Inc.
bios_version = 5.6.5
board_asset_tag = Defaultstring
board_name = Defaultstring
board_serial = Defaultstring
board_vendor = Defaultstring
board_version = Defaultstring
chassis_asset_tag = Defaultstring
chassis_serial = Defaultstring
chassis_type = 3
chassis_vendor = Defaultstring
chassis_version = Defaultstring
modalias = 
dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr5.6.5:bd12/12/2012:svnDefaultstring:pnDefaultstring:pvrDefaultstring:rvnDefaultstring:rnDefaultstring:rvrDefaultstring:cvnDefaultstring:ct3:cvrDefaultstring:
cat: power: Is a directory
power =
product_name = Defaultstring
product_serial = Defaultstring
product_uuid = 00020003-0004-0005-0006-000700080009
product_version = Defaultstring
cat: subsystem: Is a directory
subsystem =
sys_vendor = Defaultstring
uevent = 
MODALIAS=dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr5.6.5:bd12/12/2012:svnDefaultstring:pnDefaultstring:pvrDefaultstring:rvnDefaultstring:rnDefaultstring:rvrDefaultstring:cvnDefaultstring:ct3:cvrDefaultstring:
