XP Embedded with componentized display driver

[oleavr]

Hi,

I've componentized a display driver (S3 Twister) by using Component
Designer and importing the .INF-file. The driver clearly isn't loaded
successfully at boot-time on the target system according to the boot
log:
Did not load driver \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\s3gnbm.sys

I've verified that the file exists and checked the event log for any
messages related to it, but found none. How should I go about debugging
this, is there any way I can turn on debug messages to find out exactly
why it failed to load?

Thanks and regards,
Ole André

Hi,

Make sure that you have installed GART driver.

You should look at setupapi.log file and there should be clear reason why PnP did not install the driver.
Also for extra informations (you should not need them) you can increse level of report text in setupapi.log file trough one registry
switch.

I had the same problem the first time I tired creating this component. I
found the problem was that file wasn't loaded into the repository properly
when I imported the component to the database.
