OSR Driver Loader : Driver load failure

NTDEV
1

Hello,

I am using OSR’s Driver Loader to load a driver for a PCI device. Host
and target machines are Windows 2000 free builds. The driver as yet
contains code only for DriverEntry, AddDevice, and DriverUnload, and
skeleton dispatch functions of which pointers are initialized in
DriverEntry.

The driver somehow fails to load, and I see the message : The service
cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no
enabled devices associated with it.

From Windbg, I see that DriverEntry is called, all the initializations are
done and then, DriverUnload gets called immediately. Also, the device is
present on the target machine, and I have not installed the driver the INF
way, but am using OSR Driver Loader to register and unregister.

Trivial though it may sound, I have spent considerable time without any
outcome. Am I missing anything ? Can anybody help me with this ?

What do i suggest u is the u just read the book Windows Driver Model. It will really help you for the driver implememtation. U must give the bare minimum interfaces while initializing the driver. There is no issue related to the loader.

Best of luck,
