Infamous BSOD Stop 7B Error

Question

Hello all. Could someone please help me solve this issue.

Here is my situation, I have an XPe image created from FP2007 that is
relentless to boot from an AHCI enabled drive. It will boot all day
long running in Basic mode but when I enable AHCI I get the infamous
Stop 7B bug check.

Here is a little background of the system I am configuring and what I
have tried. The motherboard is an Asus P5B-VM with the G965 chipset,
2gig RAM, Core duo, JMicron SATA.

First off I imported the SATA drivers into custom component and then
into my database with no errors being displayed throughout its creation
in Component Designer. Then I imported the PMQ into TD which picked up
the SATA component and all of its dependencies. Satisfied the
dependencies and built the image with no errors. Time for deployment. I
partitioned and formated the target drive using the oem drivers buy a
custom PE and the F6 during install and still no errors everything
looks good. Reboot.... Stop 7B! So I hooked up the trusty ole Kernel
Debugger and got some more info.

INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE (7b)
During the initialization of the I/O system, it is possible that the
driver
for the boot device failed to initialize the device that the system is
attempting to boot from, or it is possible for the file system that is
supposed to read that device to either fail its initialization or to
simply
not recognize the data on the boot device as a file system structure
that
it recognizes.  In the former case, the argument (#1) is the address of
a
Unicode string data structure that is the ARC name of the device from
which
the boot was being attempted.  In the latter case, the argument (#1) is
the
address of the device object that could not be mounted.
If this is the initial setup of the system, then this error can occur
if
the system was installed on an unsupported disk or SCSI controller.
Note
that some controllers are supported only by drivers which are in the
Windows
Driver Library (WDL) which requires the user to do a custom install.
See
the Windows Driver Library for more information.
This error can also be caused by the installation of a new SCSI adapter
or
disk controller or repartitioning the disk with the system partition.
If
this is the case, on x86 systems the boot.ini file must be edited or on
ARC
systems setup must be run.  See the "Advanced Server System
Administrator's
User Guide" for information on changing boot.ini.
If the argument is a pointer to an ARC name string, then the format of
the
first two (and in this case only) longwords will be:
    USHORT Length;
    USHORT MaximumLength;
    PWSTR Buffer;
That is, the first longword will contain something like 00800020 where
20
is the actual length of the Unicode string, and the next longword will
contain the address of buffer.  This address will be in system space,
so
the high order bit will be set.
If the argument is a pointer to a device object, then the format of the
first
word will be:
    USHORT Type;
That is, the first word will contain a 0003, where the Type code will
ALWAYS
be 0003.
Note that this makes it immediately obvious whether the argument is a
pointer
to an ARC name string or a device object, since a Unicode string can
never
have an odd number of bytes, and a device object will always have a
Type
code of 3.
Arguments:
Arg1: f789e524, Pointer to the device object or Unicode string of ARC
name
Arg2: c0000034
Arg3: 00000000
Arg4: 00000000

I will post the !devnode 0 1 shortly.

Has anyone had any problems using AHCI or Native Command Queuing
issues? Is AHCI supported in XPe? Does this sound like a Sata driver
problem or a ntloader issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

PH

Answer 2

Hi Ph,

Looking at the response from the newgroup, I see a lot of suggestions. I wanted to explain some of the boot process to remove the confusion on the 7B bugcheck.

There are two phases of the boot that you are seeing.

 

NTLDR. This portion reads the boot.ini. NTLDR has the capability to do basic reads. It loads ntoskrnl.exe and boot critical drivers then passes control to the kernel (ntosknrl.exe).

NTOSKRNL.EXE: Completes the boot process, using the drivers loaded by ntldr. 7B bugchecks occur in the kernel.

 

You mentioned your registry key for your boot critical devices is the same as xp pro. Ie start=0 indicating a boot driver. This makes sure the driver was loaded by ntldr and passed to ntosknrl.exe.

So that leads me to suspect it's during pnp when ntoskrnl has control.

 

Now, during PNP operation in the kernel, a special key is used to help with device enumeration. (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase)

 

Can you check if your special hardware is found in XP pro but not XPe in this key?

Answer 3

Although I have not fixed the original problem I seem to have found a
work-around. Here goes...

My original problem consisted of not being able to boot to the AHCI
enabled SATA port on the motherboard. For some reason XPe could not
read the volume during the initial FBA boot, believe me I tried
everything. Anyway my workaround goes as such.

First off I partitioned and formated the target drive connected to the
AHCI enabled SATA port on the motherboard. Next I transferred the
image to the target drive then powered off. At this point before
whenever I tried to reboot to that AHCI SATA port I would fail
miserably with a STOP 7B bug-check. Woow Wooow Woooow! So after
transfering the image I powered down and disconnected the drive from
the AHCI SATA port and connected the drive to on of the other non AHCI
ports with AHCI still enabled in the BIOS, turned the power back on
and... no 7B and no AHCI. Once FBA is finished I shutdown the
computer, unplug the drive from the non-AHCI SATA port and plug it
back into the AHCI enabled SATA port and power back on, whats this...
no 7B... AHCI enabled.

Can anyone explain that?

I have re-run the kernel debugger and see that the drivers actually
load when they are suppose to and everything seems to be working fine
so I guess that will work for now.

Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions.

PH

Answer 4

This last post really help me figure out the issue that I was having with a Dell Opti 755.  I had to image a drive to it and got the BlueScreen-o-Death (with the prev mentioned stop erros).  All I did to resolve the issue is go to the bios and disable the AHCI, and change it to the alternative which was ATA.  The PC booted up perfectly fine.  I'll see if I can enable the AHCI once I install all the dell drivers properly in the Windows OS. 
Does anyone know what benefits the AHCI has?

Answer 5

 

I have been having the same issue on a dell optiplex 755 myself. I had to reimage the machine and now while the other drive configurations work (such as legacy and ata), the new AHCI provides the above 7b stop error.

Answer 6

You will need the AHCI driver in the image in order for the system to boot.

 

-Sean

 

 

Answer 7

As Sean stated, you will need to add/create the AHCI Driver component before this will work.

 

-P

Answer 8

 

 

You could try installing a full XP Pro build on the device, then use DevCon (link below) to install the AHCI drivers for your chipset.  Then, see if the system boots.  If yes, then repeat the process on XPe.  Your bug check and call stack indicates that Kernel Mode PnP did not set up the boot critical disk stack correctly.   I suspect that the ACHI drivers were not correctly componentized (start type = 0, critical device database entries, etc) when converted to the SLD.    Using the Kernel Debugger, you could also dump the loaded driver modules to see what boot critical drives you are missing.  Again, on a full build of XP Pro, if that works, you can view the boot critical stack with DevCon or Device Manger (view by connection).

Ideally you would want to configure the component correctly via Component Designer to avoid the work around.  A good component to look at is the USB Boot 2.0 component since it’s adds boot critical drivers to the boot stack and shows the required CDD and Service registry keys required to boot.  The same would apply to ACHI for boot.

Answer 9

In my Toshiba laptop the sATA disk can be configured as AHCI or Compatibility. In AHCI mode I got the same error 7B when trying to install Windows XP.
I changed it in BIOS to Compatibility and everything worked OK.

Answer 10

The AHCI driver needs to be in the image if the SATA disk is configured AHCI. If the ACHI driver is not present with SATA set for AHCI, you will get STOP 7B. The AHCI driver INF file will have to be imported to create a custom component.

Answer 11

Thanks all ... This really helped me ... I too have Dell OptiPlex 755 and it suddenly started giving the STOP 7B error. The fix that worked for me is to change the drive to ATA rather than AHCI ... It worked like a wonder.

Thanks to all once again.

I changed it in BIOS to Compatibility and everything worked OK.

  This worked for me. Switched hdd in BIOS from AHCI to IDE and it works now.
