I also wanted to let you know, that i have no experience with the
StorPortLogError() interface. But i am used to prefer the IoLogError...
Interface, since i know that this is absolutely the first choice for logging
information into eventlog.
I think that even though you use either interface for logging, the basic
fact is, that you must register you .sys file at the eventlogservice, so it
knows, where to extract the errorstrings...
