Problem with Virtio 0.1-22 block driver and Windows 2008R2 installation

[josef__]

Hello, i was about to install Windows 2008R2 server and in the middle of the installation i got the attached Bluescreen. Can anyone please help me with this issue?

My Configuration is:

- debian squeeze with proxmox 2.1 installed on it. (did not use Proxmox installer because wanted to use Software RAID 5)
- virtio 0.1-22 block drivers inserted before the actual installation process.
- AMD chipset with phenom x6 CPU and 8 GIG of RAM

thanks in advance

The first thing I would do is run memtest86 to look for bad RAM.

Hi, it's a know problem with 0.1.22 drivers, using cache none or writeback.
(it's a problem with writeback option expose to the guest and drivers flushing bug).

I use succesfully 0.1.27 drivers (not yet officially released)

or you could also try directsync or writethrough cache option.
