Lshw command shows 4 devices as unclaimed. Is this normal?

Posted on by admin

Hi everyone!

Everything is working normally with my laptop, which is an Acer Aspire-a315-22 8GB RAM with Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon installed, but when running the lshw command out of curiosity I noticed that 4 Devices are unclaimed, these are:

1.)*-generic:0 UNCLAIMED description: IOMMU product: Family 15h (Models 60h-6fh) I/O Memory Management Unit vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD]physical id: 0.2 bus info: pci@0000:00:00.2 version: 00 width: 32 bitsclock: 33MHz capabilities: msi ht cap_list configuration: latency=0

2.)*-generic:1 UNCLAIMED description: Encryption controller product: Carrizo Platform Security Processor vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD]physical id: 8bus info: pci@0000:00:08.0version: 00 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: msix ht pm cap_list configuration: latency=0resources: memory:f0e40000-f0e5ffff memory:f0c00000-f0cfffff memory:f0e6f000-f0e6ffff memory:f0e6a000-f0e6bfff

3.)*-serial UNCLAIMED description: SMBus product: FCH SMBus Controller vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD]physical id: 14 bus info: pci@0000:00:14.0 version: 4b width: 32 bits clock: 66MHz configuration: latency=0

4.)*-volume:0 UNCLAIMED description: Windows FAT volume vendor: mkfs.fat physical id: 1bus info: scsi@0:0.0.0,1 version: FAT32 serial: 7c08-677b size: 510MiB capacity: 511MiB capabilities: boot fat initialized configuration: FATs=2 filesystem=fat name=EFI System Partition

Everything else shows as recognized apart from a few temperature sensors that seem to be missing as compared to Windows and ACPI errors on boot but otherwise everything is working fine.

Are these unclaimed devices that important?

I'm pretty new to Linux itself and I'm having a great time with it, but I just want to make sure this is nothing to worry about?

Thanks!
