Hi,
I have problems using the Windbg in Windows 2000 Professional version.
I want to debug a NDIS driver which i have written on Windows 2000.
I am using two systems (windows 2000 Build 2195) both connected using
serial cable. Both on COM1.
On the target system, i have added the string
/DEBUGPORT = COM1 /BAUDRATE = 19200
On the host system Windbg is running.
When i boot the target system in the debug mode, the host system with the
windbg is just waiting on the COM1 and does not even show any symbols
loading etc.
The symbol directory is maintained to be c:\winnt\symbols
Please let me know any mistakes i am doing or are there any new things
which i need to do for debugging using the Windbg in Windows 2000
Regards,
Santhosh
Hello Santhosh,
Seems to be that I have already encountered similar problem.
On the target system, I have added the string
/DEBUGPORT = COM1 /BAUDRATE = 19200
I don’t know exactly, but I don’t use spaces before and after
the equal character in this line. But this is now main reason.
On the host system Windbg is running.
When I boot the target system in the debug mode, the host system with the
Windbg is just waiting on the COM1 and does not even show any symbols
loading etc.
Here you should press Ctrl-Break and F5 (Go). This force system to
continue booting and you will see all DbgPrint in your Command window.
Another possible reason is wrong version of Windbg. Newer versions
don’t work correctly. Thus I use version 5.00.2127.1 from Win2K RC2
DDK.
I hope this help a little.
Regards,
Shura
