Jeff, I was having the same exact problem with my CF 8 install. It started during the beta and continues to persist. Doesn't matter if I do stand alone or multi server install - I still get the same BSOD.
After a lot of troubleshooting, I have figured out the issue. Turns out, it's an issue with Java 6. Try this and let me know if it works for you: 1. Go through the entire CF install (doesn't matter which server method). However, don't launch the CF Administrator to complete the install. If you do this, you'll BSOD. 2. Download an older version of the Sun JDK. I happened to test with 1.4.2_14, which seems to be working for me. When I get time, I may test with 1.5. Install the JDK. you may have to reboot. 3. Open the jvm.config file and change java_home to point to the JDK you just installed. This will tell cf to use that jvm instead of the 1.6.0_01 version that installs with cf 8. 4. Start all CF services. If any are already started, restart them. 5. Open the CF Admin to complete the install process. It should complete without error, and without any BSOD. At this point, you should be good to go. I should point out that the BSOD problem is most likely a problem with Java 6 and either your video card, or your NIC. I have an IBM T60 with an Intel Nic. Others in my office have the same laptop and nic, but aren't having the BSOD problem. They do, however have a different video card than I do (I have an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400). IBM OEM's the card in my case, so any resolution is going to have to come from them on my end. I have no idea if they will ever resolve the issue, so all I can do is continue to test new JVM versions with my setup as they come out.
