OK, I didn't realize that. In any case, I wonder how this is supposed to work, since the scope GUID does not exist, and there is no code in the tree that sets the variable L"Hostname" in any scope. So please, let's figure out how this works in theory before papering over more profound issues by defining missing GUIDs with random values. _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel
