618914 – Windows 2008 (32bit) virtio block/nic BSOD while booting

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.

$ uname -r
2.6.32-52.el6.x86_64    

and 
$ rpm -q qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.104.el6.x86_64

.

beside i found my block driver version is:

and when i try to update it by point the target dir to 1.1.8-0,
windows says that it is already the newest driver.

Thank you, Cao.
The update problem looks very strange. Can you try a fresh install with a block driver from 1.1.8-0?
Thanks,
Vadim.

Vadim,

I have installed a fresh guest with 1.1.8-0 driver, the guest can boot
successfully. so i think there is no such bug in the new driver.

besides, i have found that when updating the driver, the newest driver does
be installed, but the guest still the old one, rather than the newer.

there is a bug for the update problem, BZ619010,
though it is about the nic driver.

so i think we can close this bug as NOTABUG or DUPLICATE to BZ 619010.

Thanks,
Cao, Chen
