Description

The /var/log/dmesg.boot snapshot file appears to be created too early in the boot process resulting in hardware crypto information being missing from the snapshot.

Attached are the /var/log/dmesg.boot file and the output of dmesg from my SG-4860.

Guys, this "method" is really pathetic. Not having things like /proc/cpuinfo does not help here, but what's exactly wrong with dmidecode at least as fallback method?

  • Affected Version changed from 2.2.4 to All

It's definitely less than ideal, especially given it doesn't reliably work. dmidecode is not an alternative though, as it doesn't show AES-NI capability. Even if it did, it wouldn't tell whether or not it's enabled.

Fixed in 2.3 (at least for AESNI - other types of hardware accelerators may need similar changes).
