Hello!

My colleague tries to install 64bit windows 2008r2 on centos 6.4 server:

here is kernel version:

# uname -a
Linux gesar 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 16 18:37:12 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

during setup ( at early stage ) he got:

driver_irql_not_less_or_equal stop

code is 0x000000d1

But he successefully installed windows 2003 on this server....

Any ideas about which driver can cause this and how to fix?

Thank you!

It is better to report problems with vendor kernel to the vendor, but you will have to tell us much more. Did he use libvirt or qemu directly. What is qemu command line. Did he installed virtio drivers? What is the host cpu?

Absolutely agree, I already posted the same question to centos mail list, but looks like nobody had such problem before.

he use libvirt.

cpu type is not default because we tried to do something and changed it, result is the same.

There are no virtio drivers installed.

What is the host cpu?

This is xeon E5405

That's problem.
hardware support was disabled in bios.
My colleague didn't find this because he created VM in virt-manager and now for some reason it shows virtualization type in advanced, which is hidden by default and all other (newer) servers have hardware support on by default. On the other hand I thought he checked everything before calling me.
Anyway, now I know why we are only who had this problem- we are more stupid then anyone else ;-)
