Using a Kernel Mode Debugger During Boot

  • Artigo

You can use a kernel mode debugger on a headless device to monitor the boot process.

To use a kernel-mode debugger during the boot process

  1. Before First Agent Boot (FBA) runs for the first time, add the appropriate parameters to your Boot.ini file. The following example shows the parameters.

    /debug /debugport=com1 /baudrate=115200

  2. Connect a remote debugger to your target system using a serial cable.

  3. Use the debugger to monitor FBA status of the headless system.

    The headless system reboots one or more times during this process.

    When the message "[FBA] Leaving Run Mode" is displayed, FBA has completed, and the OS has installed and is running on the headless system.

  4. To view the drivers that are loaded, use the debugger to break into the OS, and then use the !drivers command.

    Confirm that the Tsddd.dll driver loaded on your headless system instead of Vga.sys. For details, see the following example of a kernel-mode debugger session. For information about kernel debugging, see this Microsoft Web site.

The following log file output example shows a kernel-mode debugger session using the WinDBG debugger.
