installing Windows7 32 bit with vfd floppy disk that contain viostor driver for virtio

virtio version 1.4.0

vdsm-4.9-110.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.192.el6.x86_64

Comment 2 Eduardo Habkost 2011-11-08 12:52:18 UTC
Moving to virtio-win, as it looks like an issue with the driver.

Comment 3 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2011-11-08 20:37:13 UTC
Do you have dump file from the guest?

Comment 4 Tomer 2011-11-09 09:07:26 UTC
No, I don't have dump file because it happened during installation

Can you capture BSOD screen? 
Or, at least, the Bug Check code number?

Best,
Vadim.

I'm sure I've done this before, I do not know how it disappeared.
I've attached it again. :)

Comment 8 Dor Laor 2011-11-09 10:09:21 UTC
Does ide works for win7 over this iscsi setup?

Comment 9 Vadim Rozenfeld 2011-11-09 13:08:43 UTC
Not that it provides some sort of useful information, 
but thanks anyway :)

You said it happens on iscsi only, right?
Is there any way to measure IO latency over iscsi?

Best,
Vadim.

Comment 11 Tomer 2011-11-16 09:42:03 UTC
I don't know if is the same problem, but this reproduced with guest_tools 3.0.26 and 3.0.29.

now it's happen with nfs, with IDE hard disk, COW format.
Blue screen appear for a sec during rebooting after tools installation finished.
and the vm rebooting again in looping.

Can you try reproducing the problem with a local storage?
Cheers,

Hi ,Vadim

Does this mean this is not a virtio-win issue ,should be a issue in storage configuration ?
BTW,we do accptance test for each virtio-win build in local hard disk ,did not hit this issue.

Best Regards,
Mike

Yes, I'm almost sure that it is a storage problem. Let's see if Tomer can reproduce it on a local storage.

Cheers,
Vadim.

Closing the bug, because it is not a Windows driver issue, but rather a
storage configuration problem.

Comment 18 Tomer 2012-01-10 09:49:52 UTC
Is not reproduced with local storage.
