Nir,
Looks like its crashing on the dmidecode system call.
I've attached the output from gbd as well as a dmidecode text dump,
dmidecode binary dump and each keywords run individually.

AMI dmi editor but this only allows access to limited fields. Do you know
another tools to rewrite the dmi info?
I don't. But whatever is inside your dmi, dmidecode must not crash.
Which version of python-dmidecode do you have installed?
Would you open a bug against it?
I believe that its maintainers would appriace a simple reproducer, that
does not involve ovirt or Vdsm. See if you can simplify the code in
def __leafDict(d):
ret = {}
for k, v in d.iteritems():
if isinstance(v, dict):
ret.update(__leafDict(v))
else:
ret[k] = v
return ret
def getAllDmidecodeInfo():
import dmidecode
myLeafDict = {}
for k in ('system', 'bios', 'cache', 'processor',
'chassis', 'memory'):
myLeafDict[k] = __leafDict(getattr(dmidecode, k)())
return myLeafDict
