Ack, I get your queston now, and my answer is: Yes if Scott updated the edk2 port the bios version in that should defanitly be bumped. What SMBIOS version is it reporting, out of curosity as I need to do some work on that part of it with respect to my VM_MAXCPU changes. (Three reviews process, expect 3 to 5 more before work is completed.) > Rebecca Cran -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
