After upgrade to Proxmox 3.2 Windows 7 x64 VM BSOD on reboot

After upgrading one of the servers in my cluster to Proxmox 3.2, all Windows 7 x64 VMs on this host consistently BSOD upon rebooting with INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. This does not happen after a shutdown, nor does a Windows 8.1 x64 VM exhibit this behavior on reboot.

The VMs have the virtio scsi and network drivers 0.1-74 installed, balloon device has been disabled. I noticed that with 3.2 I got two serial devices for free in all Windows VMs, although they all had problems because they weren't configured. Disabling nor configuring them had any influence on the BSODs.

Any idea what to do about this?

Cheers,

what version the VirtIO SCSI pass-through controller you have? (check via device manager inside windows).

just to note, I do not see this issue here.

I did some further experimentation today. Originally I had the CPU type set to 'host' for ultimate speed. After I changed it back to default (kvm64), that seemed to resolve the issue. So apparently, the virtio drivers (version 61.65.104.7400) have a problem with the specific host CPU (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v2) that the cluster runs on.

Cheers,

Same Problem here with CPU Type set to Host (Dual Xeon X5650). My VMs are Windows 7 64x and Windows 2008R2. I think the problem was at 0.1.65, too. This version was installed yesterday and i got 2 reboot BSOD, now it's 0.1.74.

Hi,

same here with Windows 2008 VM and processor type "host". Using kvm64 works.
Host is a HP ProLiant DL360 G5. 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5440 @ 2.83GHz

My Win 2k8 r2 running in exactly the same error when i´m using "host" as cpu mode.

@spirit: yes i restartet the node after the kernel update.
 
@spirit > yes i did Update and restart the host after update ( the problem come when use [Host] as CPU
@Stroker89 > you are right same for me
 
HI guys i believe i fixed the hang on start. First tests looks very good. No BSOD after restarting the Windows machine several times. I changed the SCSI Controller Type under "Options" from "Default (LSI 53C895A)" to "VIRTIO".

as far I known, the default lsi controller is not supported (no driver) in windows 2008.

But if you are not using scsi drives in your vm, the scsi controller is not enabled. (lsi or virtio-scsi)
