The initial bluescreen is caused because of unsupported CPU feature bits (the DE flag, specifically). The experimental patch Clemens mentioned is here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg01412.html Past that, however, there is a bug in QEMU's self-modifying code support that causes trouble with PatchGuard and results in a different BSOD. Patrick Hulin did some work debugging and fixing this: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-08/msg02161.html After that, 64-bit Windows 7 will run correctly under TCG. However it should be noted that his patch introduces other problems – e.g., running Paint Shop Pro 8.0 on Windows 7 32-bit will now crash on startup. So there is no proper fix yet, but for some use cases these patches may suffice. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/921208 Title: win7/x64 installer hangs on startup with 0x0000005d.
