2877fc53d4
Currently the generic hardware manager uses dmidecode to get the total physical memory and system details. This patch switches the generic hardware manager to use lshw, as it is capable of reading more than DMI [0]. This enables systems that do not support DMI to use the generic hardware manager, such as IBM Power systems.

|
|
Switched to ``lshw`` for memory configuration and system information collection
|
|
when using the default hardware manager. This information can now be retrieved
|
|
on both DMI capable and OpenFirmware capable systems. ``dmidecode`` is no longer
|
|
used by the default hardware manager.
|
|
fixes:
|
|
- |
|
|
The default hardware manager is now capable of collecting memory configuration
|
|
and system information on OpenFirmware (PowerPC) capable systems, in addition
|
|
to the already supported DMI (x86 and ARM) capable systems.
|
|
upgrade:
|
|
- |
|
|
``lshw`` is now a dependency of the default hardware manager.
