Yeah Scot. I already had the debugger attached through firewire cable

I guess the problem is happening before debugger attachment, that why no
exception is caught on debugger

In Win7 'Starting Windows' is appearing for few sec and going to system
repair after that, no error message

I am using the HAL checked binaries from WDK 7600.16385 for Win7

Since the document for Win7 is not complete I am bugging you (HAL source
file name not present in setuppapi.dev.log file)

Bummer, so the boot loader doesn't like it.

Here's the checklist that I follow when things don't work:

1) Both kernel and HAL are in \SystemRoot\System32

2) Both kernel and HAL have 8.3 names

3) Both kernel and HAL are checked

4) Switches in BCD/boot.ini are spelled correctly

5) Parameters to switches in BCD/boot.ini are spelled correctly

If that's all correct then I'm definitely stumped.

You can also try enabling boot debugging (bcdedit /set bootdebug on)
to see if that gives any additional clues.

Hi Scott,

I got partial checked build working, there couple of problems lying

1. Although my system is multi-core (core 2 and Event ID 6009 as
Multiprocessor Free), I need ntkrnlpa.exe kernel file which is for
Uniprocessor PAE support

My big surprise is when I ran 'lmv mnt' through debugger it lists
ntkrpamp.exe as the kernel file loaded ?? but why it needs ntkrnlpa.exe file
instead?

2. This Uniprocessor kernel file is not available with WDK unlike
Multiprocessor file. I have to download and install checked build Win7 to get
this kernel file, which contradicts the need for going to partial checked
build

Thanks
Sethu

Am I wrong that the released Windows have no uniprocessor kernel since Vista?
