Dear all, I am using CloudStack 4.8.1.1 with KVM hypervisor. I have downloaded Windows Server 2016 ISO but when I tried to boot up the ISO for installation and template creation, it immediately goes into Blue Screen / BSOD with below error messages:
=== Your PC ran into a problem and needs a restart. We'll restart for you. For more information about this issue and possible fixes, visit http://windows.com/stopcode If you call a support person, give them this info: Stop Code: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED === and then it will go into restart, hit with the same error and keep on restarting on an infinite loop. I browse around and it seems the error is related to outdated or wrong driver (most probably display driver) or due to resources issues. Have tried to increase the resources to 8 GB RAM, 4 CPU cores and 60 GB of disk space, and the problem still persists. Have tried different OS types: "Other PV (64-bit)", "Other (64-bit)" and "Windows Server 2012 R2 (64-bit"), and problem still persists. I understand that Windows Server 2016 should work and some people have managed to get Windows Server 2016 VM and template up and running (see below email thread for example) -- anyone encountered similar issues and can provide advise? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Cheers. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andrija Panic <andrija.pa...@gmail.com> Date: Thu, May 4, 2017 at 4:49 AM Subject: Re: OS Type: Windows Server 2016 - CS 4.9.2 To: "us...@cloudstack.apache.org" <us...@cloudstack.apache.org> We used to provide 2016 template for our users, with VirtIO preinstalled inside OS (during building template), and then we simply choose OS type of "Windows PV" - not related to Xen (we use KVM), but just FYI as parallel.
