RE: windows xp on vmware IRL less than not equal

[Miguel Gonzalez]

More info:
I exactly get
DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

STOP 0x001D (0x, 0x0002 , 0x0008, 0x )
And this happens when the machine starts up. I can't log on since it is still 
in the process of installing new software so not everything is installed. Also 
any other mode (safe modes) didn't work either.
I'm wondering how can I troubleshoot this to isolate where the problem is.
Regards,
Miguel

Ok, I'm back on this issue. I have booted on safe mode and the system gets 
stuck on agp440.sys. if i disable that, then it gets stuck on mup.sys and when 
disabled, ndis and then after ntfs.sys.
I'm assuming that the fact that I get the BSOD in that point is meaningless.
I have read your article but I don't see how I can enable the verifier.exe 
software on a machine that doesn't boot at all. Is that possible editing any 
file or through the recovery console?
I have a Windows XP installed manually on VMware. Can I get any driver 
information that would help me troubleshooting this? We need to have this to 
work since we need to test the unattended installation through WinPE. We 
install automatically other software.
Thanks,
Miguel

Not Less Than Or Equal usually points to a driver or hardware issue. I
had a user’s desktop which had a wireless card in it and after I pulled
all the add-on cards out the blue screen issue went away and I started
adding the cards one by one until it blue-screened again. Guess which
card it crashed on. You got it… the wireless card.My
point is, check all the drivers you have. May have to boot that vm in
safe mode, but you should be able to verify all the drivers.    From: Miguel

RE: windows xp on vmware IRL less than not equal

[Charlie Kaiser]

Same concepts. BartPE is putting a layer in between the OS and The VMWare
install. There's something in the unattended parameters that is not playing
well with virtualization. Take the unattended install out of the mix and see
what happens, or use the converter on a physical machine. Your problem
should go away.

You are in essence trying to do an unattended install on dissimilar
hardware...

Yeah, a lot of the same recommendations still apply here...

Was the unattended install built from a physical machine installation?
You might have a hardware detection issue. Does a "normal" install work?

The different types of disks (scsi vs ide) in VMWare can cause issues if
the unattended install is one type and the VM is another.

Probably better to use VMWare converter to clone the physical machine
into a VM than to use a previously existing physical unattended
install...

I remember when I did this a while back that I had to modify something in

Can't remember what it was exactly, but it may have had something to do

Hi,

 I have run an unattended installation of Windows XP on VMware server (the 
latest version). When it boots I get a blue screen of death IRQ lesss than not 
equal.

 Anyone had this issue? I can't find any entry on google that points me in the 
right direction...

 Thanks,
