extract_hdr problems

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

This most likely means that this system is not supported by the RBU bios updater that libsmbios uses. We have a couple new systems that are out that I cannot flash. It isnt likely that I will be able to add support for these systems soon, but I'll try.

getSystemId output:

Libsmbios:    0.13.6
System ID:    0x01EC
Service Tag:  23DXDC1
Express Service Code: 4558355137
Product Name: Dimension E521
BIOS Version: 1.1.4
Vendor:       Dell Inc
Is Dell:      0

There do not seem to be any pre-extracted images for this System ID.

Thanks for your help.

John

Can you run 'getSystemId' and check to see if there is a pre-extracted
BIOS image here: http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/bios-hdrs/

Look for system_bios_ven_0x1028_dev_YOURSYSID_version_XXXX

Also, if you could send me the getSystemId output from this system, I
would appreciate it.
