Hi there,
Thanks to the help from Brad Figg in collecting raw data from kernel
related
LP bugs I've run the data through fwts and categorised the output. I've
re-used
Brad's graphing and tables to generate some web-pages.
The first breaks down the errors found by fwts by error level:
https://chinstrap.canonical.com/~cking/webdata/error_level.html
The second breaks down errors by BIOS vendor, test, product, BIOS
revision.
https://chinstrap.canonical.com/~cking/webdata/bios_vendor.html
Once one has drilled down to the bottom layer, one gets a table with
relevant data
and one can click through to the LaunchPad bug and to the error line in
the fwts log (you may need to scroll up a few lines to see more context
to understand the fwts error).
I can dice the data up many different ways, so feel free to suggest
different ways of
drilling down or collating the data sets.
I suspect I need to generate json like structured output from fwts to
allow me to
collate data better, but that's another iteration...
Colin
