The Evil Empire doesn't like me!

Recently, I have completed slipstreaming SP4 and all the SP5 hotfixes into a W2K distribution. In testing this it has become apparent that something isn't quite right. I get an event 49 ftdisk error configuring the page file for crash dump on all the test machines.

Searching the docs for this error leads to 2 situations/solutions which do not apply.
1) This error can occur when you increase the RAM in a machine without increasing the page file accordingly. Then if the machine crashes, the page file is too small for the memory dump.
2) An error that was supposedly fixed with SP4 and included version 5.0.2195.5505 of Ntkrnlmp.exe, Ntkrnlpa.exe, Ntkrpamp.exe and Ntoskrnl.exe. I'm at version 5.0.2195.6902.

I have compared the version and MD5 of ftdisk.sys being deployed and running on machines that don't exhibit this error. They are the same. I have examined the registry of well behaved machines vs. those of the test machines. I'm at a complete loss. Aside from pulling out the SysInternals tools and looking at what files are involved prior to the error being generated, I just don't know what else to do. If anyone has encountered this problem and has a solution I sure would like to hear about it. Wading through Filemon and Regmon logs just isn't my forte.

Humor me:

Remove pagefile.sys from the systems affected, just temporarily, reboot w/out one, & then reform a NEW pagefile.sys on them.

(Do this on a TEST machine first, because the odds are with it probably 'yelling' @ you that you have an insufficiently sized pagefile & to create one... which is what you are out to do anyhow!)



* See how this works, & if it does not get rid of your error? We can try out other things... like manual registry hacking!

Well, I tried to delete the pagefile.sys by going into performance options and selecting a file size of 0 bytes. This appeared to remove the pagefile. Then when I rebooted W2K created a new small page file for me. The same error persists. I've compared the registry settings for ftdisk.sys on well behaved systems and errant systems from the new deployment. I am fairly certain MS has created a file mismatch for me with KB835732 (MS04-011).

25-Feb-2004 23:55 5.0.2195.6902 1,699,904 Ntkrnlmp.exe
25-Feb-2004 23:55 5.0.2195.6902 1,699,264 Ntkrnlpa.exe
25-Feb-2004 23:55 5.0.2195.6902 1,720,064 Ntkrpamp.exe
11-Mar-2004 02:37 5.0.2195.6902 1,726,032 Ntoskrnl.exe

These are the files that I think may be related to the problem. I found a MS bulletin that said these files were replaced in SP4 to cure the same error....although the file versions were earlier. To avoid finding old files delivered in my deployment, I usually have to take apart the cab files, update them and put them back together in the deployment. Thus, these files would not only be included in the I386 directory but also the SP4 cab file. I have seen older versions of files pulled out of cabs too many times (even with the appropriate security cats in place). Also, I noticed that ftdisk.sys was not replaced in the KB835732 patch. I guess my next step will be to put together a deployment excluding this patch and apply the patch at the end of the deployment as you would with a previously installed OS. If the test system without this patch does not have the error and by applying this patch the error shows up, we'll know that this patch is responsible. Also, I'll take a snapshot of the registry before and after, in the event that the error doesn't appear, I'll look for differences in the registry that may cause the problem.....If I had to do his for all the MS patches, I'd QUIT!

I'll let you know what I find....although it may be a few days (this is my part-time job).

Yea, lol, I don't blame you... but, look @ the "bright-side": It gets & keeps you PAID! Busy work & file mix/matching, & rebooting & trying (hoping you can bootup again etc. each time)... but, keeps you in a job!

Whew, I don't envy you that task... seriously!

(I would like to know what you find, as this sounds pretty interesting & complicated/complex especially since you are attempting to be what looks like fixing hotfixes!)



* Above all? Good luck... I imagine this might take more than a few days to resolve/figure out!

You figure it THIS way, just the math of the potential permutations involved, factorials:

4 files == 4 factorial = 4x3x2x1 ~ 24 (or more) possible combinations of the files you mentioned... UGH!

APK

Well, here we go again....

I tried deploying W2K SP4 as a slipstreamed deployment (this has worked fine before) and patching the OS using the MS Qchain utility. The results are the same as if I had slipstreamed all the hotfixes in the initial deployment....

Description:

Configuring the Page file for crash dump failed. Make sure there is a page file on the boot partition and that is large enough to contain all physical memory.

*************************************************************

I have searched your online documentation. The page file is of sufficient size for the physical memory in the computer. KB319931 indicates this error was fixed in SP4 with the following files:



01-Apr-2002 16:07 5.0.2195.5505 1,687,296 Ntkrnlmp.exe
01-Apr-2002 16:08 5.0.2195.5505 1,686,912 Ntkrnlpa.exe
01-Apr-2002 16:08 5.0.2195.5505 1,707,584 Ntkrpamp.exe
01-Apr-2002 16:07 5.0.2195.5505 1,665,024 Ntoskrnl.exe

These files were replaced with a more recent version by hotfix KB835732.

This is the log of the hotfix installation:

Did you try to run WITHOUT a pagefile.sys?

(Just an idea...)

Additionally, just for the heck of it? Can you try to place the pagefile.sys onto a disk that is NOT based on the NTFS filesystem?

A small Fat-16 or Fat-32 partition for instance, if another disk is not available for you to use??

* Might sound crazy, but could this be a matter of rights on the NTFS filesystem somehow & this would be @ the DISK level, not just file/folder type???

(Pagefile.sys has access rights too iirc! Maybe it's a matter of toying with those as well on the disk in question, the NTFS filesystem rights too!)

Some ideas... but, I think that the one in my P.S. might be better regarding replacing ftdisk.sys!

APK

P.S.=> The reason I say this is, the VERY FIRST error you seem to be seeing IS that ftdisk.sys is hassling you... Now, iirc, you're out to replace it with another version, correct? I take it you tried to rename it while the OS was running to replace it, & it probably might have told you it was "locked" & you could not do it... there is also a way around this using the reskit "INUSE.EXE" tool, & that MAY be your ticket! Try it out... apk

Maybe the Evil Empire isn't so evil after all....

This morning I started a support case with them. They were kind enough to pick-up the tab on this support issue. I'll let you know how we end up resolving this issue.

Stay tuned....more to come ;-)

LOL! Nope, they're not @ all...

Please do!

(I am SURE other network engineers/techs/admins might want to know how to do something like this in the future & resolve it... I know I would @ this point!)

Yup! Same time, same channel, etc.



* All I could think of since your first err you see is about ftdisk.sys? Is to use either INUSE.EXE from reskit to replace it & reboot etc. or the Recovery Console once system is the way you wanted it patched... I dunno, but would like to see the resolution of this myself!

Event ID 49 Entry Is Added to the System Event Log When You Use the 3GB Switch in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=319931

"As per Microsoft: "A Memory.dmp file is created when a kernel mode STOP error occurs on a computer that has the "crash dump" feature enabled. If the page file is unable to accommodate a Memory.dmp file, debugging the problem is not possible. The page file is configured for crash dump when your computer starts, and the behavior described earlier in this article is logged when the physical memory on the computer is greater than the size of the Pagefile.sys file.". "

Q319931 refers to all W2K servers: This problem is caused by a bug in the Memory Manager when it tries to allocate a contiguous run of free memory" and provides a fix.

I just wanted to add some quicks links and quotes that I saw in my travels to help resolve your issue.

This sounds like it may be his hassle... I have not read the original post in like a week now, but this sounds like a reasonable thing in his case!

(Did he add ram recently? I am not sure anymore, I was following this one, but have not in a week now, been mostly offline is why & did not come around here!)

I think this one ONLY takes effect & affects him, IF he has Adaptec "Take Two" online!

If he tried to use the 3gb per memory session per app switch (iirc, that's what that one is for, like for database engines to be able to allocate more than 2gb per session since Win32 apps that run in Ring3 as usermode apps can only allocate up to 2gb normally for themselves! Yes, they have 4gb virtual spaces to play in, but can ONLY ask for 2gb @ a time in memory related API calls etc.)

Good job... good points, from the horses' mouth! You must have queried the knowledgebase/technet on Event ID 49 etc., & that makes sense!

(I still think it's the adding RAM one... I am not sure if he just added more, or not! Again - It's been a week since I have been here to this site...)

I am curious on this myself...



(I would NOT like to run into it one day & not know an answer is why, of course!)

Q3139931 says that this problem was corrected in SP4. I have long since installed SP4, but have the error message in my event viewer for every system start for several weeks now. I have (repeatedly) deleted the pagefile and recreated it with various sizes. I now have a 512MB pagefile for 256MB memory, and have disabled crash dump completely. Nonetheless, this error message is still appearing. The system also refuses to shutdown, but produces no error message in normal mode (just blank background screen for W2k). In safe mode, shutdown often produces blue screen with error message 0x9f DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. All of this was working fine a few weeks ago.

What else can I do?
