miniport installation error.

Hi All

I am new to driver writing.

With reference to the existing miniport samples in WDK, I am trying to write
a Virtual Storport Miniport.

I have written a basic driver of it.

I want to load it, hence I have written a .inf file for the same.

I am observing following error in setupapi.log while installing the driver.

#-166 Device install function: DIF_REGISTER_COINSTALLERS.
#I056 Coinstallers registered.
#-166 Device install function: DIF_INSTALLINTERFACES.
#-011 Installing section [DiskInstall.NT.Interfaces] from “c:\documents and

#I060 Set selected driver.
#I125 Installing NULL driver for “ROOT\SCSIADAPTER\0000”.
#I121 Device install of “ROOT\SCSIADAPTER\0000” finished successfully.

Can any one please help with it?

Thanks a lot for your help.

You need to specify a type of bus driver in your inf file. The example, which you used, has a reference to PCI bus driver and specific information for PCI device as Device&Vendor ID. You eliminate such information because your driver has something different than PCI.
What is you low edge interface?

Hi

Could you please help with some of my queries,

As I am writing a virtual sotrport miniport,

1.what type of bus shall I specify in the inf
for the same reason I put the ‘*’ in ControlFlag section in inf.

  1. I assumed for the basic level all I/Os shall go on ram buffer.
    am I interpreting ‘low edge interface’ in right way ?
    Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks
Shekhar

I may regret this, but I am hoping your virtual Storport driver will never get on my system. You need a root enumerated driver since you have no hardware. This is driver 101 stuff.

David and I were both cranky this weekend.

Yep, the long weekend always bring some challenge :slight_smile:

In general you need a bus driver. In WDK you could find a sample of bus driver. Toaster is a good example. You should also look the example of WinDDK.\src\network\ndis\netvmini which is Virtual Ethernet Adapter. *.inf file for this example contains a section which point out to a bus driver, used for this driver. You could use the same approach for you Virtual StorPort driver also.

Hi Igor,
Thanks a lot for the right direction.

hardwareID need to be corrected.

for netvmin its “root\netvmini”

corrected the hardware id on the same line as netvmini, Things have moved
further.

Thanks a lot once again,

-Bharat.

Yes, this example should help you. Unfortunately there is not example of Virtual StorPort driver. And there is not much documentation in WDK. But using sample of Virtual Ethernet mini-port driver could help you for sure. You need some knowledge of low-edge interface of Virtual mini port driver and from this sample you could get an idea how to use it.

If you call and talk to MS support, there IS a virtual storport sample
driver they can send you.

The next issue of the NT Insider will begin a series on how to write a
virtual Storport driver. It should be out in a few weeks.

Could I use my regular MSDN subscription to get a sample of Virtual StorPort driver?
