** Description changed: Positng the issue here since I did not get any reply on the ML. I was trying to update some windows XP (SP3) images in kvm. It worked fine several times but last time I added mass storage drivers to sysprep and now on the second boot after reseal (the first is mini-setup) I get a BSOD with message - DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I can post the screenshot if somebody - thinks it is interesting enough. + DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. - The same image works on hardware (which has controllers different from - the qemu PIIX3) and in VirtualBox (with the default PIIX4 as well as - PIIX3) so long as IO apic is enabled). - - I am not sure if this is an error with the MS drivers or how they are - used in sysprep in this particular case or if his is some strange - error in qemu emulation in the PIIX3 controller or elsewhere. + It turns out that the error is unrelated to storage drivers. It is + triggered by Synaptics driver installing for the PS2 mouse in kvm (which + does not happen in VirtualBox or on real hardware). The image is originally created on hardware with MP acpi (not virtualization). qemu-kvm 0.12.5+dfsg-2
