           Summary: Dell hardware signature not recognised by i8k module
    Kernel Version: 2.6.10
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
             Owner: other_modules at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
         Submitter: treeve at scarlet.be


Distribution: Sourcemage 
Hardware Environment: Dell Inspiron 510m 
Software Environment:  
Problem Description:  
i8k: not running on a Dell system  
i8k: vendor=Dell Inc., model=Inspiron 510m, version=A07  
i8k: unable to get SMM Dell signature  
i8k: unable to get SMM BIOS version  
  
  
It appears that Dell have changed their name in the signature string, so the  
i8k module does not recognise the hardware.
