How to load source code in Windbg kernel

NTDEV

Hello,

This the firs tiem I have used Win2000 Windbg to debug a Win2k driver.
Everything seems ok except I am not able to load the source code. I think I
don’t know how to load the symbols for my driver. Can any body help?

Thanks in advance

Another question on Win2k driver.

If I compile my 1394 driver in Win2k DDK on WIn2k system, then the driver
can be loaded in Win2k system. But If I compile the same driver in Win2k
DDK on WIn98SE, then the driver can not be loaded in WIn98SE system. Any
body got any idea?

Thanks

James

Typical reason: You are using certain function that is not supported in
Windows 98 SE. Compile your code using Win98 DDK.

You need to tell Windbg where your symbols are.

When you build you should wind up with a PDB file in the same dir as
your driver.

Point the debugger to this file like this:
.sympath \mybuildmachine\mydrivershare\obj\i386
<file:>

Then do a .reload

To verify symbols were loaded do a “x mydriver!*” If you see a bunch of
symbols then it worked. If you get an error message or no symbols then
it didn’t.

Also make sure you are using the latest debugger from
http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/debugging

And read the docs that come with that package. They should help out
alot.

Enjoy

Thank you, Raja.

But Win2k DDK suggests to compile the code in Win2k environment. ???
