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
