I'm debugging a 32-bit windows 7 machine kernel that is set up on Vmware with Windbg that is in a Windows XP SP2 setup under Vmware. The debugger attaches the windows 7 machine just fine in boot-up.
The problem is I can't break into the target machine , I tried using the break button in "Debug" like I used to do in user-mode but nothing seems to be happening.
Any solutions ?
i believe we would need some more details to help you here. Here is the setup as i understand
Degugee machine : Is running Win7, 32 bit.
Debuger machine : Is running XP SP2.
How are you connecting the two. Am assuming you are using pipes. Can you share those details ?
Quick suggestions
a. look up the details in "Setting up Kernel-mode deubgging ..." in the help file that comes with winDBG.
b. Hope the firewall settings are not blocking the commands being sent from the debugger machine.
