The dcdbas and dell_rbu drivers are Linux kernel drivers that are required to perform certain operations in libsmbios. For example, BIOS updates require the dell_rbu driver. These kernel drivers are included in the standard linux kernel starting with Linux 2.6.14. If you have this kernel and these drivers are not present, please talk to your vendor about enabling these drivers. For others on earlier kernels, there is a DKMS-based RPM containing these drivers that you can install. Here are the instructions:
The current DKMS drivers are written for 2.6.10, 2.6.11, and 2.6.12. If you have other kernels and would like to help make the modifications to make the driver run on earlier kernels, please let us know on the libsmbios mailing list.
The drivers are automatically compiled and loaded into your kernel at install time. If you install newer kernels, DKMS will automatically recompile for that kernel on boot.
