Can't load driver - Procedure not found

NTDEV
1

Greetings,

I’m stumped. When trying to load my driver now, I get a failure. I’ve
used Doron Holan’s
method described on his Blog
http://blogs.msdn.com/doronh/archive/2006/03/13/550844.aspx
to identify the problem symbol as KfAcquireSpinlock.

I’m trying to use the depends tool but am having trouble interpreting
the display.

Under NTOSKRNL.EXE I see HAL.DLL and it is EXPORTING KfAcquireSpinLock

At the same level as NTOSKRNK.EXE, I see HAL.DLL and it is IMPORTING
KfAcquireSpinLock.

I’ve been using KeAcquireSpinLock for a while now with no problems, not
sure what change
cause this failure…

Anybody have a suggestion?

Thanks in advance,
-bob

Are you sure it is KfAcquireSpinLock? What OS are you seeing the load
failure on? Have you run depends.exe on the target OS to double check
the missing export?

– I can spell, I just can’t type.
