I wonder what the bios_date field contains ? Typically when the DMI strings
are no good (e.g. often they contain "Default String" or "To be filled by OEM")
we add a check on the bios-date, which together with the broken strings is
considered unique enough to still allow a match with broken strings in the
kernel.
Also have you tried doing something like "load bios/setup defaults" in
the BIOS setup ? Maybe that helps ?
