I can't get SMBIOS information from /dev/mem on Solaris10!

807559Sep 14 2005 — edited Jan 3 2006

Hello,

According to the DMTF spec DSP0134, I should be able to find the SMBIOS structure in between physical memory address range 0x000F0000 and 0x000FFFFF.
I wrote a userspace program that looks for the Anchor string using /dev/mem, and it works fine in Linux on several machines, but not Solaris 10 on x86.
I am running Solaris 10 on a Sunfire 40z x86_64 machine.
Is this machine SMBIOS compliant? Or is there a discrepancy in the way Linux exports memory addresses in /dev/mem vs that of Solaris?

Thanks in advance!
