[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1049307@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff Lane (bladernr) has assigned this bug to you for fwts in Ubuntu:

Ran fwts as part of the certification suite on a server and noted
several HIGH level failures causing our test to fail.  All of the
failures were from the dmi_decode test and I was able to manually
confirm this.

The first one is from the Chassis info (Type 3):

00018 dmi_decode      FAILED [HIGH] DMIInvalidHardwareEntry: Test 1, Unmatched Chassis Type SMBIOS
00019 dmi_decode      Type 3 reports 1c ACPI FACP reports 3

Here is the actual output from dmidecode:

Handle 0x0003, DMI type 3, 22 bytes
Chassis Information
	Manufacturer: Acer
	Type: Blade
	Lock: Not Present
	Version:         
	Serial Number:                       
	Asset Tag:                       
	Boot-up State: Safe
	Power Supply State: Safe
	Thermal State: Safe
	Security Status: None
	OEM Information: 0x00000000
	Height: Unspecified
	Number Of Power Cords: 1
	Contained Elements: 0
	SKU Number:         

And the DTMF standard says this in section 7.4 (grokked from the fwts log advice):
1Ch  Blade. An SMBIOS implementation for a Blade would contain a Type 
3 Chassis structure for the individual Blade system as well as one for 
the Blade Enclosure that completes the Blade system.

The rest are related to several DMIValueOutOfRange errors.  I will let
you look at those via the log file.
