You submitted multiple different issues, which makes this bug a little
confusing.
The heart of it seems to be:
- You had a Windows XP VM working alright under KVM/libvirt/virt-manager in 9.04
- You upgrade to 9.10
- Trying to run this image under KVM 9.10 gives you a BSOD with STOP: c0000221
unknown Hard error
\SystemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll
- Selecting safe mode when booting the XP image works
That would make it a "upgrade KVM host / keep WindowsXP guest" issue.
Note that Windows is notoriously bad at handling changes in hardware:
while taking a disk from one machine to another generally works under
Linux, under Windows it generally fails (it also is a license violation,
but let's not enter into details). Upgrading KVM between 9.04 to 9.10
probably changes significantly the way hardware is presented to the VM,
so from a Windows perspective, it probably looks a lot like the disk
swap I described above.
Please confirm that the issue you want to report is the one I described,
and I'll change title and affected package to get more KVM specialists
advice. If I got it wrong, please explain and file separate bugs for
each issue.
