[RESOLVED] dmidecode "No SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found, sorry"

[chuina]

Hello,

I can't check my PC's ram speed by 'dmidecode'
[code]
[root@localhost ~]# dmidecode
# dmidecode 2.11
# No SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found, sorry.[/code]

Here's PC info:
[code][root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.8 (Final)
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-devel-2.6.18-308.13.1.el5
kernel-2.6.18-308.13.1.el5
kernel-headers-2.6.18-308.13.1.el5[/code]

Any idea how to check ram speed by dmidecode?
or, any alternet tool to do this?


Thanks.

Pretty sure you can't then. That means that dmidecode couldn't find the BIOS table that it should have set up containing that DMI data. If it's not there then its because the BIOS neglected to set it up - perhaps there's a setting in the BIOS? Or a BIOS upgrade?

If you have DDR2 RAM then installing lm_sensors and `modprobe eeprom` then running decode-dimms.pl should give a lot more information. For DDR3 you need to locate a different script which isn't supplied by CentOS lm_sensors.

Those will help me to check in DDR2,3 rams. Thanks for your reply.

Any option for DDR1?

DDR1 works same DDR2..

Thanks again. :-)
