linking ZwCreateSection prevents driver loading ?

Hallo everybody,
I'm trying to share some memory between my wdm driver and an application
using ZwCreateSection, but as soon as i use ZwCreateSection() and so
bind to ntdll.lib, it will fail to load during install, returning

Device not started: Device has problem: 0x27: CM_PROB_DRIVER_FAILED_LOAD

I've checked a little, and it doesn't even reach the DriverEntry.
Removing the mem sharing part it works fine, so I think it's some kind
of problem with the import of ZwCreateSection.
Am i on the right track ?
How can I solve the problem ?

thank you,

e.

This function is exported in the ntoskrnl.lib. So if you build your driver
in the DDK build environment, this function import will get resolved
automatically. You shouldn't link to ndll.dll.
