Re: windbg in Vista

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

REM try specifying the boot entry
bcdedit /debug {current} on
REM without the underscore
bcdedit /dbgsettings SERIAL DEBUGPORT:2 BAUDRATE:115200

can you post the output of `bcdedit /enum` ?

Let's try this again.

I cannont get Vista to talk to Windbg over the serial port.

Here is what I am doing:

On XP (host), I start the Windbg, and click on File->kernel Debug. I
then select the com port and baud rate of 115200. A command windows
pops-up displaying, "Waiting to connect".

On Vista (target), I ensure the User Account Control is disabled via
the msconfig. If enabled, I disabled it, click lauch, and reboot the
computer.

In Vista, I open a command window and type the following:
bcedit /debug on
bcdedit /dbgsettings SERIAL DEBUG_PORT:2 BAUDRATE:115200

I expected the XP machine to connect to Vista. Nothing happened.
I even reboot the Vista machine and nothing happened on the Host. The
host is still waiting to connect.

I am a newbie to windbg. I have used SoftICE in the pass but SoftICE
does not work with Vista RC1 and will not in the future.

I tried to connect windbg to an XP host to a W2K target with no
problems.

What am I'm doing wrong in VISTA that will not connect to the host XP
computer?

John
