Fixed In Version: kernel-2.6.32-71.3.1.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, a Windows XP host experienced the stop error screen (i.e. the "Blue Screen Of Death" error) when booted with the CPU mode name. With this update, a Windows XP host no longer experiences the aforementioned error due to added KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) support for the MSR_EBC_FREQUENCY_ID model specific register.
