Re: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and EWF

mike,

That is a bad one. I suppose you already looked here:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.embedded/search?hl=en&group=microsoft.public.windowsxp.embedded&q=IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL&qt_g=Search+this+group

Do you have EWF enabled on the image? What mode of EWF you use?
Does the BSOD screen show the faulty driver?
Were there any errors in FBALog.txt?
Could you check the Ever Viewer log to see if any error appears there related to the BSOD?

I couldn't quite understand your second sentence. What you meant by "always include EWF in XPE image"?

Are you working with SP2? (EWF on SP1 had some problems on certain MBs).

And, very good approach would be to connect to your target with a KD (Kernel Debugger, WinDbg) from another computer and catch the
blue screen to investigate more the call stack.

sometimes when i reboot my XPE, i got blue screen with the message
"IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".

i googled this, someone suggest to always include EWF in XPE image to
avoid this problem. is that true? i don't understand the connection
here. can anyone explain this to me.

thanks!
