I really don't see how you can guarantee the integrity of any dump file that the system is trying to create as a result of a bug in the boot device driver. I don't know how MS-Windows or linux handle crash dumps. Last I heard, there was no support for crash dump in linux, but that might have changed. Do you have some documentation for MS-Windows or for linux which provide more detail on your belief about the way they handle panics in boot device drivers? James C.
