Hi,

I am trying to setup a new VM with Windows 7 under Proxmox. As per the wiki, I am attempting to install the following four drivers - balloon, NetKVM, virtioscsi and virtioserial.

However, I am having issues finding a Virtio driver version that actually works.

If I use virtio version 0.1.185 (stable version) - it says no signed drivers found:

If I use virtio vgersion 0.1.190 (latest version) - it also says no signed drivers found.

However, if I use virtio version 0.1.189 - it is able to find and install the balloon driver but then a few seconds later, I get a BSOD:

What do people suggest

Thanks,
Victor
