RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 31 Paolo Bonzini 2015-06-25 10:05:05 UTC 
For this particular MSR it is okay to return the default, i.e. 55h, but there may be other MSRs that Windows tries to access.

Vadim, can you try running KVM with the ignore_msrs parameter set to Y, and grab from dmesg a list of model specific registers that Windows tries to read?

A new build of Windows 10 (build 10162) is available here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso

Please check if the problem is still there.

With build 10162, the GP due to missing MSRs is not reproducible anymore (bug 1232894) but the bsod that this bug is tracking due to the cflushopt instruction is still present. I didn't close bug 10162 yet though, it's probably best to wait for a release before closing it. Vadim, do you want to try the 32-bit version ?

Also cannot reproduce the crash, mentioned in comment #30, with 32-bit version (build 10162).

Reproduce this bug on qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-15.el7.x86_64.

Host:
3.10.0-304.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-15.el7.x86_64

Guest:
en_windows_10_enterprise_x64_dvd_6851151.iso

Steps:
1. Just start install win10 with following command line:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \
-M pc \
-nodefaults -rtc base=utc -no-hpet \
-m 2G \
-smp 4,sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1 \
-enable-kvm \
-name rhel7.2 \
-uuid 990ea161-6b67-47b2-b803-19fb01d30d12 \
-smbios type=1,manufacturer='Red Hat',product='RHEV Hypervisor',version=el6,serial=koTUXQrb,uuid=feebc8fd-f8b0-4e75-abc3-e63fcdb67170 \
-k en-us \
-monitor stdio \
-qmp tcp:0:6662,server,nowait \
-boot menu=on \
-bios /usr/share/seabios/bios.bin \
-serial unix:/tmp/serial0,server,nowait \
-vga cirrus \
-vnc :0 \
-netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=54:52:00:B6:40:22 \
-drive file=/home/en_windows_10_enterprise_x64_dvd_6851151.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0,readonly=on,format=raw \
-device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0,id=ide0,bootindex=0 \
-drive file=/home/win10.raw,if=none,media=disk,id=drive-ide1,format=raw \
-device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide1,id=ide1 \

Result:
Guest bsod then restart.


Verified this bug on qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-17.el7.x86_64.

Result:
After update qemu-kvm, installation complete without bsod, guest works well.

So this bug has been fixed.

Comment 45 JianHong Yin 2023-07-25 13:36:10 UTC 
JFYI:
  hit a similar problem on RHEL-7.9-updates-20230713.1 with CPU(Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz)
  install Windows Server 2016 fail, but Windows Server 2012r2 success

  workaround:
    add '--qemu-commandline=-cpu Skylake-Server' to virt-install
    //or
    add '-cpu Skylake-Server' to qemu-kvm
