It's a new one to me.  I've just given it a go and found no change in
behavior, from which I deduce that the target machine isn't getting as
far even as the HAL init (although this might be an incorrect reading
of the /break option).

That's worthwhile to know, thanks :-)

I was mainly trying kd to see whether it reported any different/extra
information on stderr that windbg was silently swallowing.

My guest OS is Windows XP SP3.  I have downloaded
WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-symbols-full-ENU.exe from the Microsoft
website, which I think should be correct.

I'll keep trying to get the connection up and running.  In the
meantime, a kernel memory dump combined with after-the-fact debugging
should be enough to fix the errors I have currently.

Thanks again for your suggestions and advice,
Tom
