Now I boot Mageia Live CD on my second machine. Here is all OK.

My first machine (without showing RAM) is a ASRock K7NF2-RAID mainbord.
My second machine (with showing showing RAM] is a ASUS P5PL2-E motherboard.

I hope this helps

The 720d93a589120abc27a9ec80a54c04f4  Mageia-2-LiveCD-KDE4-Europe2-x86_64-CD.iso running in live mode shows the correct cache and dimm layout and amounts on my asrock 64bit single core board. It has a nvidia chipset. so does the installed version. I have included the dmidecode live cd test rc2.txt as an attachment.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Setting severity to major, since a major feature in harddrake2 is broken.

Leaving priority low, though, since this is the maintainer's choice (I would raise it at least to normal given the number of duplicates I've seen)

Severity: enhancement => major

Comment 18 Thierry Vignaud 2015-05-07 11:28:58 CEST
Not displaying RAM is a minor thing.

Harddrake only looks for "Cache" & "Memory Module". There's none in attachment 5820 [details]

I think I should just drop the "memory" from harddrake view, aka reverting most of this commit:
http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/commit/perl-install?id=c1c7b5d9db

That's not something we can configure anyway...

display "Memory Device" too

Works fine but for attachment #2349 [details] where it results in duplicates as dmitable has both "Memory Device" & "Memory Module".
We could exclude one of them if both types are present.

enables to test with a file containing dmidecode output

This patch enables to test previous patch with any of the attached dmidecode "outputs".

As some were not really the output (as in "dmidecode > foobar.txt") but pasting in an editor, some needs editing (replacing 8 spaces at beginning of lines by 1 tab, removing command header (eg: "localhost# dmidecode") else we cannot parse them.
