What can I do to troubleshoot the FBA when it locks up
without any error message? The FBALog file shows no errors.
The last entry is a simple call to DllRegisterServer for
wmi2xml.dll. Does this mean it locked upwhile doing this?
Or does it mean this was the last thing it succeeded to do?
How does one know what the FBA would have been doing next?

Thanks,

Andy
 
Hi Andrew,

You can open offline registry and see all phases listed in ascending order. You can see what entry registered wmi2xml.dll and what
would be next step.
Search for wmi2xml.dll in registry and when you find it in FBA content look for the next step.

I hope that this is not too much cryptic answer.
 
OK, I've looked at the registry.
I've also reinstalled the image and rebooted the target
system 8 times. Each time it locked up at a different
stage. How can that be?
I tested the RAM with GoldMemory 6.4 and it was OK.
I tested the HDD with SpinRite 6.0 and it was OK.
The target system runs Windows 98se OK from another HDD.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andy

Andrew,

How does XP Pro run on that hardware? Any issues there?

Also, you can try connecting KD to the target to see if the system
completely hangs (then it may be a hardware problem) or kernel is still
running (then it could be a software issue).

Hi KM,

I'd like to install XP Pro on this, but the only install
CD I have requires that it boot from the CD or be running
NT/2K/XP already. Unfortunately, this sytem won't boot
from a CD.

What is "KD"?

Does the system have a floppy drive? Then make it CD bootable with this

Btw, try WinPE as a test for your hardware (XP kernel at least).
