Hey Peter, I'm trying to obtain access to the pool of VMs that Christian used to test this. I'll let you know when I have more info.
Thanks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to dmidecode in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851676 Title: dmidecode does not byte-swap for SMBIOS >= 2.6 Status in dmidecode package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, On VMWare 6.5 and higher (HW version 13 and higher) when decoding /sys/class/dmi/id/product_serial dmidecode produces an output whereby the first 16 characters have been reversed in comparison to /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid. This manifests itself by breaking provisioning in Kubernetes and could cause other issues down the line. Other OS such as redhat have already patched this in their releases. A demonstration of the issue can be found in this pastebin: https://pastebin.canonical.com/p/qRfrpHXwGs/ VMWare Issue: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/53609 Cheers!
