Howdy all,
been working with windbg for a while, picked up a lot on my own, and some
great hints here.
Currently I’m debugging a driver, setting my various (deferred)
breakpoints at system start.
I’ve managed to step through my breakpoints fairly easily (2 functions,
both are called several times from Windows), but on one call, after the
return, I’ll hit f5 to “go” and I get this:
DBGHELP: FindDebugInfoFileEx-> Looking for d:\ntddk\support\xp2600
symbols\symbols\dll\mydriver.dbg… path not found
DBGHELP: FindDebugInfoFileEx-> Looking for d:\ntddk\support\xp2600

Error code: (NTSTATUS) 0xd0000001 (3489660929) - No mapped error code
Now I don’ t know what’s happened, but my breakpoints just went away, and I
can’t continue on with out clearing them (windbg repeats the same message).
If I clear the breakpoints, I can continue on (but can’t debug my driver
where I need to). If I clear then re-add my breakpoints, I get
kd> bu mydriver!drvenabledriver
WARNING: Software breakpoints on session addresses can cause bugchecks.
Use hardware execution breakpoints (ba e) if possible.
I’ve done what I’m doing now many times on other systems and OS flavors
(2k, NT) – this is on XP that I’m working. I’ve tried setting just one of
the breakpoints, and windbg just pops up the same “wait for event failed”.
I don’t have a lot of eXPerience here (booo…) I can drop in the call stack
if it would help.
Now using hard coded breakpoints (DbgBreakPoint()/EngDebugBreak()) works
just fine, but I don’t see what’s happening to my breakpoints in windbg.
I’m using the 3.0.0020.0 version of the 'bag. So I’m open to any help
folks can offer. Namely – what causes this, and how can I get around it ?
Thanks,
Nathan
