890497 – Windows XP shutdown / restart causes Blue Screen

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.

When shutting down / restarting a Windows XP VM, it causes an exception in Windows and ends up as the well known Blue Screen of Death.

2. Restart / Shutdown the Win XP host again
3. 
  
Actual results:

Just after logging off, the host will stop at a Blue Screen with message:

STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status code of 0xc0000096 (0x00000000 0x00000000).
The system has been shut down.

Expected results:

Clean shutdown.

Additional info:

Screenshot attached.

Comment 1 Dan Kenigsberg 2012-12-27 10:28:50 UTC

Please specify libvirt, qemu, and kernel versions, and attach relevant segment of vdsm.log.

I did not understand whether this happens during shutdown or on the next time a vm is started.

Either way, maybe Gal could help.

Comment 2 Gal Hammer 2012-12-27 10:34:14 UTC

Can you please provide more information?

Do you have the guest tools installed on that VM (guest-agent and single-sign-on)?
Which version?

Thanks.

Comment 3 Alex Leonhardt 2012-12-27 10:42:09 UTC

libvirtd (libvirt) 0.9.10

qemu-img-rhev.x86_64  2:0.12.1.2-2.295.el6.8
qemu-kvm-rhev.x86_64  2:0.12.1.2-2.295.el6.8

Kernel: 2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.x86_64

##

this happens during shutdown/restart only - starting up the VM and its function seems to be perfectly fine, however, I'm not sure of the follow-up effect of this happening (e.g. fs corruption, etc.)

##

OS is Windows XP SP2 (SP3 required?) 

Also, no - I have not installed any guest tools. Where do I find them ?

Comment 4 Alex Leonhardt 2012-12-27 11:26:48 UTC

Where can I download the guest tools CD for Windows XP / 7 ? 

Thanks
Alex

Comment 5 Alex Leonhardt 2012-12-27 13:48:37 UTC

Found the ISO / rpm and installed the Guest Tools,  however, restart / shutdown now ends up in a "black / blank screen" - see attached a new screenshot.

XP restart after guest tools installed

Comment 7 Alex Leonhardt 2012-12-31 13:26:18 UTC

Also, I just tried shutting down a XP VM - after seeing the black screen, I tried to use the "shutdown" button from the oVirt Web Interface - it then ends up again in a blue screen.

Comment 8 pf 2013-05-13 12:27:58 UTC

In case this helps anybody.

I also had the same problem, with a Windows XP machine I migrated from VMWare ESXi.

The problem was that, I hadn't uninstalled the VMWare Tools (before migration), and after the migration, the uninstaller no longer worked (gave an error about not knowing the version...).

Each time I shutdown the machine I got the BSOD with the error, and the NEXT TIME I booted the machine, after logging on, I got a request to send an error report (because winlogon.exe terminated in error).

This error was relative to VMUpgradeAtShutdownWXP.dll (A VMWare Tools DLL)

To make things simpler, please see the link:
http://botsikas.blogspot.pt/2012/11/migrating-from-esxi-to-hyper-v.html

Even though it is migration from ESXi -> Hyper-V, the error is still the same.

Even though, after following the steps in the link and using the VMWare uninstall tool (WHICH IS PROBABLY THE BEST AWAY and MIGHT AVOID OTHER PROBLEMs), the problem still persisted. I finally did just simply delete the VMUpgradeAtShutdownWXP.dll from the %windir%\system32 and the BSOD stopped.

Hope this helps,
PF
