Systems running a Dell BIOS have the ability to turn on and off the feature for enabling capsule updates. When turned off, the ESRT table is no longer present.

It's possible to identify this situation, notify the user and change the setting from within the OS. This would require a reboot for the BIOS and kernel to populate the ESRT table.
