Re: [dmidecode] Fixing "DMI table is broken!" error

[Kevin Wilson]

Hi,
First:
 zgrep STRICT_DEVMEM /proc/config.gz
gzip: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory

And also:
ls -al /proc/config.gz
ls: cannot access /proc/config.gz: No such file or director

But:
cat /boot/config-4.4.0-31-generic | grep STRICT_DEVMEM
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y


And the kernel I use is the one who came with Ubuntu, 14.04.5 LTS
, without any changes.

Regards,
Kevin
