6.1.9 arbitrarily drops 1394 connection!!!

Several times in the midst of a debugging session, WinDbg shows that it
thinks it still has a connection, yet debug spew from the machine under test
is not appearing in the command window.

If a breakpoint or BSOD occurs, the machine under test hangs, but WinDbg
does get control.

Shutting down and restarting WinDbg results in an inablity to connect up
with the machine under test, no matter how many breaks it sends out over the
connection.

This behaviour was noted intermittently using 6.0.17 but has increased in
the new build.

Another interesting side note, if the Break is sent from restarted WinDbg
and that debug session is left open whilst the machine under test if reset,
the testbed will acknowledge the break as it is rebooting.

Hi,
I had a problem with 1394 debugging with SP1 where the debug connect would
be dropped and like you any breaks appeared to be stored up on the host
system and would cause breaks after the target had rebooted.

The solution for me was to disable the 1394 controller in the device
manager, this does not effect 1394 debugging.

Yours
Roger

This is precisely what I am seeing. One question, did you disable the 1394
controller in the device manager on which system Host or machine under test?

I had serious problems with the new build when using a 1394
connection. WinDbg -d will no longer break during target boot and the
target will hang at boot if /DebugBreak is placed on the BOOT.INI
line.

I had to revert back to 6.0.17.0.

Hi,
I disabled 1394 controller on the target system.

Thanks, I found that by disabling on the test system that I was able to
connect more frequently when booting. However, I am finding that the
connection still drops at some point with neither side aware that the
connection was lost. This is evidenced by that fact that debug outputs do
not make it to the debugger and breaks from the debugger do no halt the test
system.
