installing a partial checked build on ibmthink pad notebook?
Posted by bobs on November 13th, 2004


I'm trying to install just the kernel and hal checked versions (xp sp1) onto
a pre-installed xp sp1 ibm notebook (free build).
I've followed the instructions "installing just the checked operating system
and hal", but when I select the checked boot option the system loads up the
drivers and then reboots and starts over again.

MY BOOT.INI
[Boot Loader]
Timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S

[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect /noguiboot
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="XP-DBG (checked)"
/kernel=ntoskrnl.chk /hal=hal.chk /fastdetect /debug


What have I missed?

Look at the OSR and osronline sites. You have asked for the debug kernel to
be activated, but supplied no information on how the debugger will
communicate with the host system. The checked kernel and hal are also nice,
but this comment applied to both free & checked.

What you have specified is equivalent to:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="XP-DBG (checked)"
/kernel=ntoskrnl.chk /hal=hal.chk /fastdetect /debugport=com2
/baudrate=19200

Note you don't need to specify /debug specifying a /debugport or a /baudrate
is enough. You probably want to set the above to the port that you are
using and a decent baudrate such as 115200
