Win32 error On2

WINDBG
1

Hi all,

After setting boot.ini for debug mode in target and host computers and restart them and start Windbg in host machine and select Kernel debugging through com port an error message would be occur “Could not start kernel debugging using com; port=com1, baud=19200 parameters, Win32 error On2” and an error message box “The system cannot find the file specified.”
Null modem cable was correctly installed and with Hyper terminal tested.

I don’t know what is wrong or what is not correctly configured?

Thanks all
Alireza

Hi again,

It seems that com port is busy or another application has registered the port , but no another application is running on both systems(target and host)

thanks again
Alireza

The host should not be set for debug in boot.ini.

Thank you jimd for your answer,

but if I did not set for debug in host, it remain in “Waiting for reconnect” state.

Sorry jimd,

It was my fault, you are right.
When the host connect to the target mouse pointer disappears while Keyboard works normally. Can you tell me way?

Unless the mouse was using the com port, no idea why that would happen.
If it is usb try unplugging it an re-plugging it.
This is not a “known issue”.

It’s a PS2 mouse.
Target and host OS is Windows 2000

Well, a ps2 mouse is a serial mouse. Perhaps there is some strange
interaction.
Grab a USB mouse and see if that fixes it.

While the underlying ps2 protocol is a serial line based protocol, it has nothing to do woth serial ports. By that same logic a usb (universal *serial* bus) mouse would also be affected.

Your ps2 mouse disappearing is something i have never heard of and i owned the ps2 driver in win2k and xp so i would have heard about something like this

I’ve tested with a usb mouse and works fine.
thanks all

Doran,
Not as crazy as it sounds.
The fact is a PS/2 mouse can be wired to a DB9 ( passively) and it works. A
com port will accept “TTL” levels, though with much lower noise immunity.

Wingnut mother board mfg decides to save 50 cents and wires the PS/2
connector to COM1.
Perhaps highly implausible, but possible.

Never heard of that config in 12+ years of dealing with ps2 hw. ps2 controllers show up in a south bridge for free via a std super io chip (which implements all legacy isa style devices in your mobo like serial or parallel as wel), so wiring it strangely like you talk about would probably cost more money because it is non std

Who has? More likely it would be a design error. In any event, it’s not
that, as the OP claims it didn’t happen with Hyperterm.

Who has ever “heard of that config”, (or that issue)?
