Definitely appears to be simply missing from the symbol server. Given that
this is XP SP2, I would say that you have absolutely zero chance of this
getting fixed.
However, it does appear as though the correct PDB is provided in the symbol
pack:

Ok, sorry for the delay… Noisy output yields:

It might be worth noting that this is an OSLoader with version 5.1.2600.2180
(xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158).

Symbols No Longer Available?
How are you determining that they are not available? I don’t have an XP
system in front of me to try this at the moment, but turn on noisy symbol
loading (!sym noisy) and post the output during the failure here.

Good day, fine OSR Online folks!
I’ve been using http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols for at least a
couple of years now as a symbol server with the Debugging Tools for Windows.
Recently I was surprised when the .PDB files for OsLoader.exe were no longer
available for download. I believe that they used to be. By contrast, the
.PDB for Notepad.exe is still available. I am discussing the fine Windows
XP and Windows Server 2003 operating systems, here.
Does anyone happen to know why (or if) they disappeared, or if they archived
somewhere else?
Please and thank you!
