I tried lots of ways still can not make the SoftIce work under
this machine, it’s an AMD 64bit system, Windows XP SP2 with
PAE enabled. Anyone has some experiences to share?

thanks,

My experience is that SoftIce does not work when /PAE is enabled.

I can’t answer your question on this specific issue since I’ve never used SI
for serious debugging. Based on our experience with Compuware/NuMega, their
support staffs are very responsive and helpful.

Okay, I’ll check with Numega’s tech support later sometime,
and now just go for WinDbg anyway. thanks.

All SoftICE versions prior to 3.2 RC will work on PAE enabled machines
by disabling PAE. Disabling PAE can be accomplished by putting the
/NOPAE and /EXECUTE options in your boot.ini.

For the 3.2 RC and later releases, SoftICE has built in native support
for PAE and does not require those additional flags.

The beta for RC is starting shortly and if you are not on the beta and
would like to be, contact our tech support group and they can give
additional information.

Thanks
