How to break when a DLL is loaded in kernel debugger mode?

Question

In user mode debugging, I usually break with the following command:

sxe ld Something.dll

I tried the same in kernel mode, but it is not working. Is there a different command?

Answer 1

You will want to run:

!gflag +ksl
sxe ld Something.dll
g

You may also want to refer to [1], which discussing breaking into a process near boot-time using the above approach.

[1] How do I debug a process that starts at boot time?

Answer 2

While doing kernel mode debugging : using sxe you will be able to break ONLY for kernel mode binaries like *.sys file.

Not for user mode binaries like *.dll

If you share what you are trying achieve may be we can find some other way to achieve that !
