Windows Checked version boot problem.

NTDEV

Hello, did anybody face some problems with the checked versions of Win2000
SP4? I checked the setup.log in the repair directory about the current HAL
version of my target system (halaacpi.dll), I expanded both ntoskrnl.exe and
halaacpi.dll from SP4 checked distribution. I renamed them in ntoskrnl.chk
and halaacpi.chk and I set up the boot.ini with /DEBUG /DEBUGPORT=COM1
/BAUDRATE=115200 /KERNEL=ntoskrnl.chk /HAL=halaacpi.chk. The PC does not
boot. Do I need other DLL to import? My serial connection is functional
(test with hyperterminal), but even with no serial configuration I believe
it should boot normally.

I figure that the problem is with HAL, because when I use the free version
of halaacpi and the checked version of ntoskrnl the system boots.

The main task is to have breakpoints in my DriverEntry and other
initialization routines. Is there another way to do it?

Thank you in advance.

Did you check the kernel you are using, the checked kernel needs to match
what is being used for the release kernel also. Personally, I still prefer
the complete checked build, it povides additional checks and capabilities.
