Comment 4 for bug 1940749

Hello Ian,

I posted an update in the bug report which states the following:
HardInfo is a small application that displays information about your
hardware and operating system. Currently it knows about PCI, ISA PnP, USB,
IDE, SCSI, Serial and parallel port devices. The Processor is Intel(R)
Pentium(R) Gold 7505 @ 2.00GHz x 4 and the Storage device is an SSD, BC711
NVMe SK hynix(128GB). I suspect hardinfo doesn't recognize the SSD and it
doesn't like the extended flags in /proc/cpuinfo Otherwise hardinfo seems
to function normally. Please let me know if anyone has an SSD that is being
recognized and I will keep digging. Thank you

Let me know if this is inaccurate. Sincerely,
Tim
