KernelEx for Win2000

[tomasz86]

I've been experiencing problems with the kernel when /PAE is enabled. Several errors like this one occur:

This is when trying to use "cdimage.exe" to create an ISO. These errors do NOT show up when /PAE is disabled. Similar things happen with some other programs. I'll try to add some screen shots later if necessary.

This kind of BSODs also happen very often:

I've got files from KB935839-v22j and KB979683-v11b installed:

kernel32.dll 5.0.2195.7193
ntoskrnl.exe 5.0.2195.7386
ntkrnlpa.exe 5.0.2195.7386

Edit: I'm using Multiprocessor kernel.

Which version do you have "cdimage.exe" ?

I have oscdimg.exe v2.55.0.1010 and cdimage.exe v2.47

They work well on my environment.

Does BSOD occur /PAE mode only ?

It seems no problem.

Plz give me more information about call stack.

The version of cdimage.exe is 2.52 here.

Does BSOD occur /PAE mode only ?

Yes, these instabilities and BSODs happen only when PAE is enabled I haven't observed any problems (yet?) when it's disabled. As soon as I enable PAE and try to use cdimage.exe I get the error message. It works 100% correctly when PAE is switched off.

I'll try to give you more information when I've got some time to test it more thoroughly.

Can you check execute without extended kernel core ?

It works properly without the kernel and also works properly with WildBill's kernel (and PAE enabled).

Is there anything wrong with the download links? I tried downloading these two

http://w2k.flxsrv.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?file=dx_Jun2010_w2kex.exe and

http://w2k.flxsrv.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?file=Windows2000-KB979683-v11b-x86-ENU.exe

but all I got is "Problem loading page".

If necessary, I can provide alternative download links.

Cheers

Indeed, I cannot download them either. Same error message.

Yesterday the provider said flxsrv.org server problem.

FCIV doesn't work with the kernel installed:

//
// File Checksum Integrity Verifier version 2.05.
//

Error during CryptAcquireContext.
Error msg : An internal error occurred.
Error code : 57

It seems to have something to do with the Cryptographic Services.

Hello, blackwingcat!

i'm new to here, via google search "windows 2000 kernel32".

It's so great brilliant work you've done! And I came through all the replies from the early 2011 to yesterday.

I would say it will be a great help to me if you can release a new Simple-Chinese version, because i really really want to make Daemon Tools Lite 4.40.2.131 or GoAgent (a lovely GAE app that help Chinese people to be able to connect youtube, facebook, twitter, etc) working on my lovely Windows 2000 SP4! The v2 Sim-Chinese version of kernelEx seems a bit old.

I can see you released most version of KernelEx in Tra-Chinese. I don't know if you have a plan or just not bother to release a Sim-Chinese version. Could you give me a reply?

BTW, i don't know programming or some thing similar, so if no Sim-Chinese will be released, i'll just simply use an English Windows 2000 alternatively, then i can still can use the new KernelEx, that's OK - though my English is just soso.

Looking forward to your reply :-)

Thanks for the hard work.

I've got a problem installing anything after 15s, so starting with 17c. They all give me a "setup was canceled" message. The later ones do show the options screen, but give the error message after I hit "execute". I tried in safe mode as well, same problem.

Any idea what needs to be done?

Sorry, it's simply bug in English version kernel32.dll (Not related on CryptSvc)

I fixed it.

Hi.

When I create other language version extended kernel, It requires many Efforts.

1. it requires recentest original DLLs, which I use from Windows 2000 with the language.

2. it requires some XP original DLLs iphlpapi, *enh.dll. ese*.dll, wintrust.dll, comctl32.dll(two version)...etc.

3. it requires some Vista and 7 DLLs MSVCR and MFC*.dll ,msdelta.dll ....etc

4. And I must check them on the language environment.

So I support only 3 languages now

If you can provide those files and check them, I can make Sim-Chinese version one.

(I think Daemon Tools Lite v4.40 does not work on extended kernel, because it uses virtual scsi driver which does not support windows 2000.

I recommend MS Virtual CD Driver. )

Thank you for a quick fix I can confirm that FCIV works properly after installing the fixed kernel.

By the way, PAE seems to be working now. I don't know what the problem was but at the moment it seems to work fine. I'm using only the "/PAE" switch but later I'm also going to test "/PAE /3GB" as that was my default configuration.
