It turns out that this machine on which we are testing is a Core 2 Duo Centrino processor. We tried by using the -M 2 option to the BUILD option to build for multiprocessors but it did not help.

I think we need to do more work to get the driver working on a Core 2 / Dual Core system - probably in terms of synchronization etc. Also is there is a different DDK or we can use the same one for development for these kind of systems. Also do we need to do something special for windows 2000 ?

Odds are your code has a bug when trying to acquire the spin lock. On a uniprocessor system the function doesn't really spin so your bug wasn't detected, but on a multiprocessor system it really does.

The DDK is the same DDK.
