python-dmidecode-3.10.13-11.el7.x86_64 I cut and pasted your python code into a file and ran python file.... no workie.... I did find the attached dmidump.py on github. It segfaults after printing bios on line 64. Also attached is a dump from the AMIDEDOS utility. Happy to do whatever is required to fix this issue.. I have a couple of months of nights and weekends invested so far... what's a couple more. :) On Thu, Oct 13, 2016 at 5:01 PM, Dan Kenigsberg <danken@redhat.com> wrote:

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.
From the keywords it look like my dmi info is corrupted. I have download a 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
