Bug Check 0x73: CONFIG_LIST_FAILED
The CONFIG_LIST_FAILED bug check has a value of 0x00000073. This indicates that one of the core system hives cannot be linked in the registry tree.
Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.
Parameter Description
1 1
2 The NT status code that led Windows to assume that it had failed to load the hive
3 The index of the hive in the hive list
4 A pointer to a UNICODE_STRING containing the filename of the hive
Cause
The registry hive in question can be either SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE or DEFAULT. The hive is certainly valid, since it was loaded successfully.
[highlight]Examine Parameter 2[/highlight] to see why the hive could not be linked in the registry tree. One [highlight]common cause of this error[/highlight] is that Windows is [highlight]out of disk space[/highlight] on the system drive (in which case this parameter is [highlight]0xC000017D[/highlight], STATUS_NO_LOG_SPACE). Another common problem is that an attempt to allocate pool has failed (in which case this parameter is 0xC000009A, STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES). Other status codes must be individually investigated.
I'm sure only Eggheads fully understand this stuff. No offence Rob
