In less than two >seconds. Marketing said: "BSODs are not good" so XP is installed default to do an instant reboot instead of a BSOD which the typical windows user would not understand anyway. But you can change that behaviour easily. See link below. >When the machine rebooted, i tried again with the same >result. I reinstalled the july compile again, and stopped crashing. >This is on a windows xp sp2 machine with all updates, colinux >installed as a service, launching it manually with "net start colinux" >I'm unsure what other information might be relevant to the problem, or >if i could enable anything to get more information. I saw the >colinux-debug-daemon, but i guess that gives information once it is >launched, not while it launches. A very nice text about debugging colinux you find'll here: http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/devel-0.8.0/20070818-Bugcheck/debugging.txt Especially in your case go to: "Howto use Windows crash dump" ... Enable minidump (the small option, 64KB). Not need a full core dump. Don't set the ckeckbox for "automatic reboot after crash dump". The menu find via keys Windows+Pause [or Control panel] "System properties"] * Register: Extentions * Frame: Start and Recover * Button: Configure * Frame: System errors ... The mentioned program "kd" used to anylze the dump can be downloaded at MS. i386.exe kd.exe "Download the Debugging Tools for Windows" http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/debuggers/dbg_x86_6.7.05.1.exe approx. 15MB. It usuallay makes sense to always the most recent version. If the problem is maybe deep inside windows, installed symbols may give further help. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/symbolpkg.mspx "Download Windows Symbol Packages" approx. 200MB but worth downloading and installing IMHO. more readings: "How to read the small memory dump files that Windows creates for debugging" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315263/EN-US/ http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx Rainer |
