Kernel debugging?

I am trying to debug the kernel using windbg.My host is windows 7 x64.My target is windows 7 x86 which is installed in vmware.I have successfully connected to target machine.But often I am getting an error symbols could not be loaded.I have already set the path for symbols using the url of msdn.But I unable to connect net during debugging.SO I have planned to download symbols and specify the path .If I want to download means whether I have to download the x86 symbols or x64 symbols?

Debugging session should not matter for connectivity to internet. If that is the issue, you may want to look into that.

You may also want to check:

  • Have you saved your workspace settings, so that symbol path is always set appropriately?
  • Try !sym noisy on debugger prompt and check for which symbols its giving the problems.

Since your target PC is 32-bit, its drivers will be 32-bit as well and will require the 32-bit symbols for debugging.

You need the symbols for the OS that's being debugged, 32-bit Windows 7 in your case.
