Subject: Bug in dmi_get_year (causing apic not getting enabled)
Date: Tue, 07 Jul 2009 18:06:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A53728B.9020703@marco.de> (raw)
Hi,
dmi_get_year extracts the year with:
simple_strtoul(s, NULL, 0);
for biosdates in 2008 and 2009 this will return 0 because 8 and 9 are no
valid octal digits. This will e.g. result in the apic not getting enabled.
Changing this to
simple_strtoul(s, NULL, 10);
should fix the problem.
regards, Matthias Pfaller
