Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, it was possible to install incorrect versions of virtio drivers, especially when running an older Windows operating system. This sometimes caused the guest to terminate unexpectedly with a stop error, also known as the "Blue Screen of Death", if the particular driver and Windows versions were incompatible. This update adds target OS version information to driver files, which enables Windows to automatically select the best driver when pointed to the root of the virtio-win CD image. Installing an incompatible driver version manually is also no longer possible, as Windows now presents the user with an error message if installation is attempted.

Comment 1 Michal Skrivanek 2016-04-25 13:24:16 UTC 
since the change is targeted to 7.3 we need to test before it is release, ideally by 4.0 GA
Comment 2 Yaniv Lavi 2016-05-09 11:06:38 UTC 
oVirt 4.0 Alpha has been released, moving to oVirt 4.0 Beta target.
Comment 5 Yaniv Kaul 2016-05-19 12:12:27 UTC 
Michal - is this going to make it to 4.0?
