python-dmidecode can generate incorrect xml, namely Attribute unit redefined Although useful, the dmidecode is not critical to rteval reporting. Therefore catch this, and first see if we can at least query the bios. If that works report the bios instead of all, and if that doesn't work, just continue without the dmidecode report.
