Windows XP PFN_LIST_CORRUPT error during install.

Windows XP PFN_LIST_CORRUPT error during install.

[John Clemens]

Not much detail here but I'll post all I can. 

KVM-46 (from tarball, using kvm-46 modules), ubuntu gutsy
2.6.22-14-generic amd64, Turion X2 with SVM,  1GB total memory on
laptop.

Was in the middle of an windows xp pro sp2 install using this command
line:  

sudo ~/kvm46/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 368 -boot c -cdrom winxp.iso -hda
winxp-pro-work.qcow2 -vnc :1 -net user -net
nic,mac=00:11:22:33:44:55:66,model=rtl8139 -localtime 

While installing, I went to do other work, which involved starting
another VM running a linux boot CD with 256MB of ram.  Was running both
side by side without problem, other than the fact my host X-windows was
sluggish due to the lack of total ram available (1G-368M-256M).  When
finished with the other VM, I shut it down, and a few seconds later the
windows install which was almost complete in the first VM threw a
bluescreen with a 'PFN_LIST_CORRUPT' error.  Note that this was in the
second stage of the install where windows had already rebooted into the
install environment on the hard disk and was 'registering components' or
something. 

Nothing in the kernel log on the host that I can see, anywhere else I
can look? 

Unrelated, but earlier I tried a windows install with '-clock dynticks'
and windows installation would eventually fail with an
IRQL__NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL  (or something like that.. I'm working from
memory).  Removing the 'clock' option made it work fine. Not sure if
it's supposed to work yet or not, but it didn't for me.

Unfortunately there's a problem with irq injection on amd that I haven't 
had time yet to track down.  You can try using the Standard PC HAL as 
detailed in http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Windows_ACPI_Workaround (see 
the "If you're installing" comment).
