Windows 2000 SP1

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I’m facing a very strange problem here, can somebody shed some light on it please.

I have made a deserial NIC driver for NDIS 5.0.

It is working perfectly fine on Win2000, but if I install SP1 then it panics when I try and change to unload and reload the driver.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what changes have gone into SP1.

Thanks,
Ramit.

One thing to take examine is the effect of the DDK version on the effect
that you are seeing. I think that there is a Windows 2000 SP1 version of the
DDK. You should see if building the same code under the SP1 DDK results in a
driver that runs successfully on Windows 2000 SP1.

Hi Thomas,

I recomplied the driver with SP1 but it still panicking with SP1.

If you remember I had posted a query a while ago about this deserial driver and the had found the problem with packet queueing ( i was queueing the packet array instead of each packet separately).
Well, that problem was fixed and I queued the packets individually and it is working perfectly fine without SP1, but it is panicking with SP1. There seems to be a problem with the packet queueing again, as soon as I try and queue the packet and access it again the pointer seems to change and point to garbage with SP1.

Any ideas, I cannot give more details since I am not able to get hold of the Debug symbols for Win2K SP1 and WinDbg is cribbing wihout the new SP1 Symbols, so I am not able to get a stack dump.

Thanks,
Ramit.

Ramit,

I am afraid that I can’t offer any sensible advice based on the information
provided in your note.

It appears that you must debug this one yourself. Sorry.
