kdfiles under windbg 6.6.3.5

WINDBG
1

I’ve been using the .kdfiles cmd under windbg 6.6.3.5 for a bit and it
is great; when my driver is loaded, the debugger (used to) prints the
target/host paths and the transfer is fairly quick. I just rebooted my
target and attempted to load my driver (using .kdfiles) and now I am
getting line after line (after line) of ‘.’ and the transfer of the
driver is taking forever. Why would windbg do this all of a sudden and
how can I turn this off?

thanks

Read the docs about .kdfiles. To stop .kdfiles use a .kdfiles -c at the
command prompt of the debugger. As to why it isn’t loading, check your
driver sys file to be sure your project has not moved it and that it has
been built “sanely”.

Well, it is loading, but it is now simply printing out ‘.’ (so far, for
the last 20 minutes) which it has never done before.

The driver hasn’t been rebuilt in a few days; I simply typed .reboot to
start over (this is about the fifth time I did this today and it is the
first time this has happened).

thanks

Did you turn on verbose output in the debugger? A “.” can also be a
full module load.

No, that was the first thing I checked; anything else to look for?

After 45 minutes, I exited windbg and manually rebooted the target.
After I restarted windbg, I specified the same map file and referenced
the same binary that I was previously using; all seems to work as
before…weird…
