How to do remote debugging using windbg for vista32?

I am doing remote debugging using WinDbg.I have configured kernel debugging in Windows Vista32 using default debugging settings which use as ‘debugging client’ . And I have configured windbg in windows 2000 in another PC which use as ‘debugging server’ .Then I connect these two PC with serial mode. When I restart windows vista in DebugEntry[debugger enabled], information in windbg window is as this:

Microsoft (R) Windows Debugger Version 6.8.0004.0 X86
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Opened \.\com1
Waiting to reconnect…
Connected to Windows Vista 6000 x86 compatible target, ptr64 FALSE
Kernel Debugger connection established.
Symbol search path is: C:\MyCodesSymbols; SRV*C:\MyLocalSymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
;C:\for_usb_driver
Executable search path is:
Windows Vista Kernel Version 6000 MP (1 procs) Free x86 compatible
Built by: 6000.16551.x86fre.vista_gdr.070828-1515
Kernel base = 0x81800000 PsLoadedModuleList = 0x81908ad0
System Uptime: not available

Then windbg have no any other information after that. I can’t see any debug informaition.
But the windbg is all right when ‘debugging client’ is Windows XP.
So I think if there is something wrong I have configured in Windows Vista. Can sombody tell me how can I do.
Thank you very much!

That is correct, and it’s working properly.

That’s because you haven’t asked the debugger to *do* anything.

But the windbg is all right when ‘debugging client’ is Windows XP.

Oh! You mean you’re not seeing an DbgPrint or KdPrint output?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Debug Print Filter

DWORD Value called “DEFAULT” = 0xF

should work for you. Look at:
