I am trying to use the entry point code at
http://wiki.osdev.org/System_Management ... oint_Table

But I can not locate SMBIOS entry point table, although I have SMBIOS.

Can someone correct the code and post complete example, so I can access members of structure SMBIOSEntryPoint

For the wiki page, the link the the SMBIOS specification is correct, and that's the only thing that really matters.

After you've downloaded the SMBIOS specification and read through it, then corrected your code (and probably realised that the example on the wiki page was right), feel free to spend your time improving the wiki page (so lazy people can cut & paste it without bothering to learn or understand anything about what they're doing).

http://wiki.osdev.org/Deprecated#SMBIOS_specification might also be useful.

No, it crashed because you failed to implement error checking.
