kernel debugging on virtual machine

Let Host to debug its virtual machine

1. configure virtual machine to add a com port. refer here

set up a COM port for a named pipe (in VPC settings COM1 you can select named pipe and give it a name like \\.\pipe\ThePipe)

2. configure virtual operation system (vista) to enable debug and sets its output port. refer here

bcdedit /debug on

dcdedit /dbgsettings serial debugport:1 baudrate:115200

3. config host machine to connect to virtual machine

configure WinDbg to kernel debug (specify the same \\.\pipe\ThePipe in File\Kernel Debug, COM tab, Port text box).

4. Replace OS with checked ndis.sys

To disable WRP on windows vista. Install TakeOwnership.zip refer
