Local kernel debugging
Adi
I'm trying to use kernel debugging of the local machine.
1. I reboot XP SP3 using /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /debug /sos /noguiboot
2. I connect local kernel debugging in WinDbg
3. I receive: "GetContextState failed, 0x80004001" (full log below)
3. I load my test driver which calls DbgPrint few times
4. I run !dbgprint in the debugger but nothing
5. If I try to view memory I recieve the same GetContextState failed,
0x80004001
6. Using DbgView or DbgGui I receive all expected DbgPrint messages
This is the log of my session:

Any clue why GetContextState fails and how to resolve it?
thanks

Specify a local symbols directory in your symbols path,
so that it looks like:
srv*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
-- pa

directory (which is in my case C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows
(x86)\sym). In any case I tried changing it as you suggested and
unfortunately this doesn't help, same failure. This doesn't seem to be
symbols problem, see this session snip:
lkd> lml
start end module name
804d7000 806e4000 nt (pdb symbols) C:\Program
Files\Debugging Tools for Windows
(x86)\sym\ntkrpamp.pdb\909FE6B806E4444B9230BAAF21EC5C271\ntkrpamp.pdb
Any other idea why does GetContextState failed with 0x80004001?
thanks

So, could you try again with a local path
that *does not include spaces*?

Me too. Another unsolved mistery of the universe...
