[Bug 1432747] Re: lshw crashed on Servers with GPT partition

[Narinder Gupta]

lshw works with legacy mode on Gen9.
Detail analysis:
1.	On a DL80gen9 that has 2 disks (sda and sdb), installed 15.04 in legacy mode on sda disk. After installing OS lshw failed.
2.	Did ‘strace lshw’. It showed it was failing on the sdb disk (gpt) UFI partition. The sda disk was msdos partitioned as it was legacy mode install so had no issues.
3.	Used parted and deleted the UFI partition from the sdb disk. Was able to delete it as it was non OS disk. PFA
4.	After deleting 1st portion lshw started working fine.
