Windows 2008 server on KVM 2.6.18 and promox 1.5

[francoisst]

When I try to install Windows server 2008, I get a blue screen

A problem has been detected and Windows ha been shut down to prevent dagage to your computer...

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000420, 0x83QC7FC8, 0x83599540, 0x8389923C)

*** acpi.sys - Address 83AC7FC8 base at 83AA7000, DateStamp 47918648

I could find any information about this problem with windows 2008... I'm presently running a Windows xp pro without any problem.

Any idea anyone?

I had never problems with 2008 on 1.5 - pls post the output of:

pveversion -v

and:

cat /etc/qemu-server/VMID.conf

what version of windows do you have? win2008 or r2, 32 or 64-bit?

There is something weird now, when I add the iso as the cd-rom source, the field the stays empty: "CD-ROM drives no devices" but we see it in 109.conf

I'm going to try to burn the dvd iso on a dvd and put that dvd directly into the server for a quick test

It seems that the problem come from my iso image. I ripped this iso a while ago from my MSDNAA account. I tried with an other iso from the web and it seems to work now

I don't think it is the source of the problem, but it would be better and more natural to choose as ostype :
ostype: w2k8

I have my windows 2008 running now. The iso was my problem

you have the following kernel running:
running kernel: 2.6.18-2-pve

and you are using the KVM package for 2.6.24 or .32:
pve-qemu-kvm: 0.11.1-2

this cannot work, correct it via:

aptitute install proxmox-ve-2.6.18
