I am trying to hook up to a Win7 x64 boot in VMWare WS 6.5 using host platform XP x64. GNU gdb 6.3 from MinGW. Settings in vmx file:
bios.bootDelay = "3000"
debugStub.hideBreakpoints = "TRUE"
#debugStub.listen.guest32 = "TRUE"
#debugStub.listen.guest32.remote = "TRUE"
#monitor.debugOnStartGuest32 = "TRUE"
debugStub.listen.guest64 = "TRUE"
debugStub.listen.guest64.remote = "TRUE"
From gdb command-line:
(gdb) set architecture i386:x86-64
The target architecture is assumed to be i386:x86-64
(gdb) target remote localhost:8864
Remote debugging using localhost:8864
Ignoring packet error, continuing...
Ignoring packet error, continuing...
Ignoring packet error, continuing...
Couldn't establish connection to remote target
Malformed response to offset query, timeout
If I use the 32-bit settings I can connect just fine at boot and step all the way until long mode is enabled.
Using the 64-bit settings I have tried connecting at boot, and I have tried connecting after I know 64-bit instructions are executing. Same behavior...no luck. Am I doing something obviously wrong?
