Awesome, thanks.  I'll read those now.

Right now, one of my test machine is asserting after calling
HandleParsingLibConstructor.  This machine has far fewer drivers than my
development machine, so I still haven't figured out what I'm missing yet.
 Here's more detailed info:

Here is the debug output:

ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status = Device Error)
ASSERT c:\...\AutoGen.c(368) !EFI_ERROR (Status)

Here is the code that is asserted on in AutoGen.c:

VOID
EFIAPI
ProcessLibraryConstructorList (
  IN EFI_HANDLE  ImageHandle,
  IN EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE  *SystemTable
  )
{
  ...
  Status = HandleParsingLibConstructor (ImageHandle, SystemTable);
  ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status);
  ...
}

Here is the output of "drivers" on my test machine:

            T   D
D           Y C I
R           P F A
V  VERSION  E G G #D #C DRIVER NAME                         IMAGE NAME
