Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • You use a SCSI miniport driver as the device driver for either the memory dump file or the hibernation file on the computer.

  • You install one of the following updates:

    • Hotfix 2320550

    • Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1)

In this scenario, one of the following symptoms occurs:

  • When a fatal error causes a Stop condition, the operating system does not generate a memory dump file of the system memory.

  • When you try to hibernate the computer, the computer restarts instead of hibernates.

Cause

This issue occurs because the operating system cannot use the features that are required to create the memory dump file or the hibernation file on the SCSI miniport device.

Important Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:

    Version

    Product

    0.16xxx

    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are critical to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
