This is my error message during my everyday memory dumps. (Starting since SP3)

I finally had time to write it down.

STOP: 0x000000E1 Work_Thread_Returned_At_Bad_IRQL

Address 80421FB0 base at 80400000

Datestamp: 3ee6c002 - ntoskrnl.exe



Does the error message mean anything to anyone? It was the reason I asked about multiple devices sharing IRQ's.

this explains how to fix it

I can't get the LN command to work in debug. Am I missing something here?

whats the command you are using?

I downloaded the debugging tools from microsoft, but have never done a debug before. I typed in



kd> ln "Address"


It says use positive decimal value

How do I trace the address to the driver? I can't figure this one out.

*bump* =)

I need to track this problem down!

Seems to be a hardware / driver issue. All drivers been updated to the latest?

This has helped me before with INTEL NIC drivers.

Will dumpchk.exe for Win NT 4.0 work with 2000 Pro? If not is there a dumpchk.exe for Win2k? I don't see it listed on the Win2k Resource Kit download page.

Dumpchk.exe is part of the windows 2000 support tools found on your CD of windows 2000. Keep in my other required files include Kdextx86.dll and Msdis110.dll

Anything else I can help ya with?

Thanks

Well, I'm having no luck. It says it can't initialize the dump file. Is there another way to trace the address to a driver?

The file is a mini dump file...does that make a diff?

Is there a switch I should be using with dumpchk.exe? This is really annoying. I keep losing work do to the comp going blue screen on me. Any additional advice would be greatly appreciated.

You will need to set it to at least a kernel dump, and preferably a complete dump. Look for it in the System Properties -> Advanced tab...

Ok, I need to get this thread going again. The problem is getting worse and worse. I opened up Windows Debugger and then opened my memory.dmp file. Below is what was listed after opening:

Can anyone make sense of this? I am very new to debugging. I am still going to try and play around with this. But anyone with debugging experience would really be helpful.

I just tried an LN command like so:

> ln 80421FB0

and it said no symbols found. Going to try and find some symbols heh. Thought I downloaded them a month ago, but maybe I am mistaken. Any help is appreciated.

Ok some good news I guess. I downloaded the new debugging tools and it works much better. Have it set to download the sybols I need on demand. This is what I got when debugging the dmp file:

As you can see it said to find the guilty driver do an "ln" command. Which I did and it came up with nothing. I don't know where to go from here...
