It turns out that there has been a problem in Intels EFI on
R1304GZ4GC server systems. As long as EFI optimizations were on
dmidecode did not work. Disabling EFI optimization is one option but
updating to the latest firmware did do the trick too in this case.

I'm
trying to set up as ovirt hosts. Since I couldn't find anything
wrong in the CentOS setup I tried Fedora 22 and got the same result.
/dev/mem: Operation not permitted

I'm sorry to have bothered you guys with this problem that is
obviously not ovirt related. I'll try to find a solution and keep
you posted.

All the best
