Some notes on debugging the ReactOS kernel ------------------------------------------ * Interpreting crashes If the kernel causes a fatal cpu fault then it will print out a message and halt. This message contains important information for debugging the problem, look for these lines Exception: xx(yy) CS:EIP 20:zzzzzzzzzzzz Here xx is the type of error, usually either 14 or 13 and yy is the error code. Generally error codes 13 and 14 both mean the kernel tried to access some memory in an invalid way. zzzzzzzzz is the address of the erronous instruction. * Debugging with bochs
