No More IRP Stack Locations

[Erich Dailey]

I installed a new raid array on my pc and now my PC blue screens during boot
up and gives the message No More IRP Stack Locations. Complicating matters
is the fact that my OS is installed to a serial ata HDD. How do I fix this?

Norton Antivirus seems to mess with irpstacksize. I found out while trying
to fix a network problem.

They have this advisory..
http://service1.symantec.com/support/nsw.nsf/c851d9242b6f1c4d88256d8000469d43/23c023a837b5241188256d03005eb145?OpenDocument&src=bar_sch_nam

and MS have this one...
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;106167

HOWEVER the above only mention the error message being "Not enough server
storage..." I found it can also other errors like access permission errors
("Access denied" or "Insufficient acesss", I can't remember exactly) over my
LAN.

Here is what I found...

irpstacksize = 11 (dec) causes access permission errors.

irpstacksize = 13/14 the error changed to "Not enough server storage" or
similar.

irpstacksize = 15 and my network shares now work fine.
