Operating System: WinXP / Win2K3
Burning Software: _
Anti-virus Software: _
DAEMON Tools Version: 3.46
This problems happens while booting with images (of any kind) mounted from CD or DVD drives, not when the images reside in any HDD. When the two conditions are met (automount + image is stored on CD/DVD media; although this may happen with other types of removable devices but is untested), the system freezes at bootup.
I remember to have reported this (or something similar) before, but since now I've also found the problem in a couple of different systems (both VIA, one was a KT600 and the other a KT800) that only had clean Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 installs, I thought that it would be interesting to take a deeper look at it.
So I've traced the source of the problem (or it should be better said the solution), to be related with the loading order of d346bus. If d346bus is loaded before scsiport the system hangs; but if it is loaded after, the problem dissapears. By altering the group of d346bus to "SCSI miniport" I've managed to get it loading exactly before scsiport (1), and by altering the group to "Primary disk", I've got order (2)*:
* sc config d346bus group= "Primary disk"
1.
d346bus.sys
scsiport.sys
2.
scsiport.sys
d346bus.sys
With (1) the computer locks up at booting, unless I previously eject the physical disc containing the images; (2) works flawlessly, so I've settled with it. May this be a problem with dependencies ???.
