[dmidecode] dmidecode not return type 2 (baseboard)

[Talmai Oliveira]

Hi,

While using dmidecode on some desktop machines no type 2 (baseboard) 
info is returned. But, when we boot win XP up and use DMICFG we can 
clearly see that the information is there...

offset 05H (Product) is *not* null..
but the other attributes of the structure is NULL..

I can only guess that dmidecode ignores this type if some other 
attribute is null, such as MANUFACTURER..

has anyone else noticed this? can anyone give me some kind of advice on 
where I can modify the source to try to get this information regardless 
of whether or not some of the attributes are NULL?

thanks
