Problem with WinDbg

[Alexander]

Hello,

I have a problem with Windbg.
I have started it in debug mode and have waited for the debuggee to
connect. But I get the following outputs:

******************** OUTPUT BEGINNING ********************
Microsoft (R) Windows Debugger Version 6.8.0004.0 X86
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Opened \\.\com1
Waiting to reconnect...
BD: Boot Debugger Initialized

Symbol search path is: G:\Windows Vista\Symbols;G:\Projects\Pwe_common

Executable search path is:
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for

"Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden."
Please check your debugger configuration and/or network access.
Shutdown occurred...unloading all symbol tables.
Waiting to reconnect...
******************** OUTPUT END ********************

The text in quotes means in English: "The system can not find the
given file"

If having an explicit break point in a DriverEntry routine the
debuggee will hang so debugger and debuggee really do not connect to
each other. But the null modem cable works and there are outputs if
the
debuggee boots in debug mode.

I think the critical point is "The call to LoadLibrary(bootext)
failed, Win32 error 0n2" and this is the reason for the shutdown of
the debugging engine.

Any idea concerning this error?

Thanks for any help,

Alexander Boegelsack

Check your debug settings for the Target machine.

bcdedit /debug on
bcdedit /dbgsettings
