FC12/X86_64 - KVM


Trying to install Windows 7 into KVM and Windows attempts to read CD and install, but when it gets to "Starting Setup" in Windows, it crashes BSOD,
Error Message: " DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP" can't go any further.

The error message is explained below line.

I ran a Memory Test with Memtest86 and NO BAD Memory was indicated.

This same computer has Two Sata Drives Installed.

Sda - 500gb. Wndows 7 is installed on this drive and had no errors while installing.

Sdb - 1 tb. Has Fedora 12 installed and This is the drive I'm trying to install Windows 7 in KVM .

So it would appear if it is a DRIVER problem, KVM would be part of the problem.

There are many reasons why your system may crash due to a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP or BSOD (Blue Screen of Death
) error, so this guide will provide some common tips that may solve the problem, along with some troubleshooting advice.


This error message means that the system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel interrupt request level (IRQL)
that was too high. This is one of the most common errors and has many possible causes, but the most common scenarios are:

* Faulty drivers
* Hardware issue
* Anti-virus software problem
* Overclocking too far

If you notice any filenames mentioned on the blue screen, googling for the filename may indicate if it is attached to
any driver or software package. This can pinpoint the driver which you need to update. SCSI, Network and graphics drivers
are often the offenders if this is a driver problem - so you can try updating all your drivers manually if it is difficult
to track down the problem.

It is possible to analyse a "dump file" which contains more detailed information about the crash. These dump file are
located in C:\Windows\MiniDump and can be opened using diagnostic packages or posted to the forums for analysis by an
expert. This extra information will often provide a good clue to the BSOD crash.

If you aren't able to boot in to Windows 7 to fix the problem, you may be able to boot using safe mode (press F8 during
startup, or follow this guide) and access Windows again. If this still doesn't work, try selecting the "Last known good
configuration" option. If this also fails, using system restore to roll back your system a few days may be a valid option.
You can use your Windows 7 installation DVD to boot to the recovery options menu, then select "System Restore".

Hardware issues are more difficult to diagnose, but if you have resorted to a clean install of Windows 7 and the problem
still occurs, then it is a possibility. Memory is a frequent culprit, so you can use a tool like MemTest (or the Windows 7
memory diagnostics) to check your RAM for problems. Replacing components is often the only foolproof way to check for
faults.

what is the cmd line you started the VM with?
If you used virt-manager GUI, just get `ps -ef |grep qemu`

I open the VM with the Virtual Manager GUI

$ ps -ef | grep qemu
derrick 13698 13682 0 07:26 pts/1 00:00:00 grep qemu

How much memory did you allocate to the VM?

Memory used for virtual 2048 out of 4gb

Disk Image 80gb out 379gb

I have attached /var/log/messages.

It appears in "messages" that it's trying to install on /dev/sdc which is /dev/sr0, it can't make hdc/sr0 write enable.
The drive it should be writing image to is Fedora install /dev/hdb or sdb .

The BSOD is a *.png file and I can't attach it on this site.

I just discovered a problem. In Virtual-Manager it is showing /var/lib/libvirt/images/ is on hda that is wrong , the /var/lib/libvirt/images is on hdb.

A full install of Windows 7 is on hda1 ntfs
Fedora / is on hdb1 ext4

Why would the KVM be selecting hda as target disk when it should be hdb ?

How do I get Virtual-Mananger to display "Storage" select window ?

It displays Source (CDROM etc)

I need to get it select /dev/hdb as Storage.

BSOD in Windows 7

A problem has detected .....
Run Diag.......... What Diag.??
Remove hardware........ (It is part of the motherboard)
