I have a Compaq Proliant IA 64 server where I want to install checked
filter filter. This is the first time I am looking at a IA64 box. So I
wanted to modify the boot.ini file to add a new entry for checked build
of HAL and Kernel. Interestingly I did not see any boot.ini file in
system drive. After reading through some KB articles and other stuff, I
found that IA 64 uses EFI Boot manager to add new boot entries. So I
tried that and in process screwed up NVRAM and could not start the
server.
What I looking for is way to set up my WinDbg environment to debug the
file filter on this server? I have gone through Intel’s specs on EFI and
stuff but there is no clear information on how new entry is added and
how various boot options can be specified. Any body have any idea on
this?
Thanks,

Thanks a lot…
This hint did the whole trick. Now I have configured the server
successfully and its kicking now…

Look up the “bootcfg” command in Windows. There are examples in the
documentation for enabling debug, etc.
Basically, for each boot entry in the EFI NVRAM, you can specify
OsLoadOptions, such as, say, “/DEBUG /DEBUGPORT=COM1 /BAUDRATE=115200”.

I have a Compaq Proliant IA 64 server where I want to install checked
filter filter. This is the first time I am looking at a IA64 box. So I
wanted to modify the boot.ini file to add a new entry for checked build
of
HAL and Kernel. Interestingly I did not see any boot.ini file in system
drive. After reading through some KB articles and other stuff, I found
that
IA 64 uses EFI Boot manager to add new boot entries. So I tried that and
in
process screwed up NVRAM and could not start the server.
What I looking for is way to set up my WinDbg environment to debug the
file
filter on this server? I have gone through Intel’s specs on EFI and
stuff
but there is no clear information on how new entry is added and how
various
boot options can be specified. Any body have any idea on this?
Thanks,
