Hi,
I am using firewire 1394 for debugging on laptop & desktop. Desktop is my host computer & laptop is my target computer. I will be booting desktop in safe mode.
My question is how will I set symbol, source & image paths on the target computer?
Thank you.

You set these paths on the host computer. The Debugger documentation
has lots of information on this. Look at .sympath and .symfix.
Briefly:
kd> .symfix
kd> .reload

Why? You are just crippling your host. Minimal display, and very slow.
What do you think you gain by safe mode?

You don’t, you set them on the host. If you build the driver on your host
system, then copy it to the target, you only need to set a symbol path to
find the PDB file, the sources are handled automatically.

You don’t even need to specify the path to the PDB file since the path to
the PDB is contained in the checked build. But … moving it to another
directory can aid in resolving conflicts between the debugger and build when
you need to build a new version while the debugger is running. If you use
the symstore utility you can add the file to the local store pointed to by
SYMPATH.
I agree with Phil … booting to Safe mode to run the debugger is
meaningless. All you are doing is impacting your own productivity.

Since OSR now sells 1394 PCI cards, maybe they will consider finding a solid
CardBus/PC Card version too. Maybe a good USB to serial converter, also. I
have an IBM G41 with a StarTech 1394 two port card. It is attached to a
Seagate 400GB 1394/USB 2.0 external HD and a LG 1394/USB 2.0 DVD±RW (DL)
external drive. When I save one of the ports on the StarTech card for
windbg (host), I loose connectivity to one or both of the external drives.
Life should be easier, but it appears that the windbg 1394 drivers are very
possessive and of an exclusive type. Why can’t we all just share?
P.S. Gary, the 7200.9 drives appear to be a winner. I missed the NewEgg
sale, but want to get a 500GB SATA II version sometime soon. From a company
that ignored ATAPI 133, Seagate seems to be kicking posteriors and taking
names lately.
