HAL_MEMORY_ALLOCATION Parameters

Parameter Description

1

The allocation size

2

0

3

A pointer to a string that contains the file name

4

Reserved

Cause

The HAL could not obtain non-paged memory pool for a system critical requirement.

These critical memory allocations are made early in system initialization, and the HAL_MEMORY_ALLOCATION bug check is not expected. This bug check probably indicates some other critical error such as pool corruption or massive consumption.
