I am having segfaults in hwinfo. I know it worked before.
by hazel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#50J7X)
I installed hwinfo and its dependency libx86emu from slackbuilds. I know it originally worked because I have an output file dated October. But it does not work now for any enquiry that involves searching the PCI bus. It starts printing what I think is some kind of error message and then crashes.
Code: pci.5: xenSegmentation faultThe relevant part from the old output file is
Code:>> pci.5: xen
sysfs: no such bus: xenI have no idea what "xen" refers to. I don't use the xen hypovisor or any kind of virtual machine. All my systems are on bare metal. Google doesn't suggest any other meanings for "xen". I tried running hwinfo in debug mode but I don't get any output from that.
lspci runs normally. /sbin/lspci -vv|grep xen and /sbin/lspci -vv|grep "pci.*5" show nothing.
