From fd8cd7e1919fc1c27fe2fdccd2a1cd32f791ef0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alok Kataria Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2008 15:50:38 -0800 Subject: x86: vmware: look for DMI string in the product serial key Impact: Should permit VMware detection on older platforms where the vendor is changed. Could theoretically cause a regression if some weird serial number scheme contains the string "VMware" by pure chance. Seems unlikely, especially with the mixed case. In some user configured cases, VMware may choose not to put a VMware specific DMI string, but the product serial key is always there and is VMware specific. Add a interface to check the serial key, when checking for VMware in the DMI information. Signed-off-by: Alok N Kataria Signed-off-by: H.
