How to determine OS initialization phase during driver initialization?

A

Alex

I need to check the OS initialization phase in my DriverEntry routine and
prevent driver loading if it occurs not in boot-phase.

Thanks for assistance.

There is no interface to find OS initialization phase.

May be exist some undocumented way to determine this? I need it only for
in-house purposes.

NT has no notifications of init phases, like win9x.
Maybe you can explain what you're doing?

Hello,

Just an idea:
Write different drivers for different driver starting stage "Start=1",
"Start=2", "Start=3", ...
Then have each driver in its DriverEntry talk w/ your querying driver and
report to it at what stage the system is currently running.

Regards,
Elias
