Hello
I'm developing a custom MLE (and launcher). So far I've found the
TXT.ERRORCODE register very helpful.
However, now I've run into a strange error code: I get 0x80000000, which is
"valid" but not really informative.
The error I got before that was 0xc0000c71, which I parse as SINIT-error
progress 0x07, error 0x03: "a non-initial entry (PDPE/PDE/PTE) is
invalid/not present (i.e. holes in page table are not allowed."
This error could be explained by an improper value in
OsSinitData.MLEBaseHeader. I changed this value so that it corresponds to
the linear address of the first page in the MLE page tables. This small
change is enough to transform the error into a 0x80000000 error code (I can
recreate the old error code by simply changing the MLEBaseHeader value in
the debugger back to the old value).
Any hints on how I could come closer to what went wrong? Presumably it is
something that happens after/during the page-table related checks?
By the way, as far as I can tell, the progress codes are not always
reflective of the order in which the checks take place. For instance, I've
had TPM-related errors (progress=0x0d) before I got the page-table related
error (progress=0x07).
The machine is a HP Elitebook 8440p with a Core i5-520M CPU with 2 cores/4
threads. The SINIT module is i5_i7_DUAL_SINIT_18.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Martin Thiim
