When enabling the driver verifier and rebooting the machine (done
automatically for some tests by DTM), the machine is hanging during the
reboot. I can reproduce the problem also by doing the same thing manually
(without DTM). I have Windbg attached and it seems the system is hanging at
the very beginning: it seems the driver under test is not loaded yet, the
last messages from windbg are "kernel debugger connection established", some
stuff about symbol paths and "system uptime: not available" as last message.
I'm only able to break into the debugger until after a very long time (more
than 10 minutes). The strange thing is that I do not see the problem on all
my test machines. I'm currently using 2 machines: the one which has the
problem is a single-processor machine, the other one, which is a
multi-processor machine, does not have the problem. Another difference
between them is that the one with the problem has both XP and Vista installed
on it while the other has only Vista installed. Both are 32-bit machines.
Has anybody already seen this problem before or does anybody have
suggestions to debug this problem?
Thanks,
Jeroen
