Summary: Windows 2003 x64 - SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

Initial Comment:
Host Machine:
CPU:    2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405  @ 2.00GHz
Kernel: Linux version 2.6.25-gentoo-r4
Arch:   x86_64
KVM:    tried kvm-69 and kvm-70

Guest System:
tried Windows 2003 x64 and Windows 2003 x64 with slipstreamed Service Pack 2

Hi,

I get a BSoD (see attachment) while installing Windows 2003 x64 which contains the error message SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

Serial log is empty.

I start my KVM via this command:

kvm -hda /dev/lvg1/sap-test -boot d -cdrom /srv/install/iso/windows/2003-server-x64.iso -vnc :4 -m 3048 -smp 4 -daemonize

Using -no-kvm or the -no-kvm-pit switch doesn't help and shows only the message "Setup is starting Windows".

The -no-kvm-irqchip switch has no effect (same BSoD).

Any Ideas?

Regards,
Andreas 'ac0v' Specht

Message:
The issue persists with kvm-82 modules. Neither win2003 x64 r2 CD nor
installed system will boot, failing with BSOD
SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED. Had to revert to older 2.6.28 modules
having block virtio disabled again :(

Message:
Updated to 2.6.28 including kvm modules, which seem to work very well with
kvm81, at the same time supporting win2003 x64, so all mentioned issues are
resolved for me, but only when using the kvm modules of linux kernel
2.6.28.

Message:
I've got the same issue with kvm-81 and Linux version 2.6.27-gentoo-r7.

The problem does not occur when using the kvm modules coming with the
kernel, but these (probably older?) modules still have bugs with smp and
block device virtio (temporary freeze)..

Can anyone shed some light on this, please?
