Several "UNCLAIMED" in lshw output

Support & Help Requests

#1

So I was trying to help a fello Linux user out, and I myself got the following output on my machine:

sudo lshw | grep --color -i 'unclaimed'
     *-memory:0 UNCLAIMED
        *-bank UNCLAIMED
     *-memory:2 UNCLAIMED
     *-memory:3 UNCLAIMED
        *-serial UNCLAIMED
  *-power UNCLAIMED

There are several hardware components with no drivers. The relative extra information in this regard is the following:

*-memory:0 UNCLAIMED
          physical id: 1
        *-bank UNCLAIMED

Is this normal? Should I be worried?

I dont think you should worry. I get only one unclaimed on my 18.04
What system do you have? do you get output from inxi -F

I would not worry, I have a similar m/b H81M-K and I get 6 unclaimed lines.

#5

The unclaimed ones, for example the SMbus driver is available, but I wonder why it’s not loaded or installed…:neutral_face:
