Abstract
In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and processes determine an address of a memory medium of an information handling system associated with an exception; determine respective address spaces of the device drivers loaded in the memory medium; determine an address space of address spaces that includes the address associated with the exception; determine a device driver of the device drivers based at least on the address space; query the device driver for an identification of the device driver; determine if the device driver provides the identification of the device driver; if the device driver provides the identification of the device driver, output the identification of the device driver and exception information associated with the exception; and if the device driver does not provide the identification of the device driver, search for identification information of the device driver within the address space.
