FC12/X86_64 - KVM
Trying to install Windows 7 into KVM and Windows attempts to read CD and
install, but when it gets to "Starting Setup" in Windows, it crashes BSOD,
Error Message: " DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP" can't go any
further.
The error message is explained below line.
I ran a Memory Test with Memtest86 and NO BAD Memory was indicated.
This same computer has Two Sata Drives Installed.
Sda - 500gb. Wndows 7 is installed on this drive and had no errors while
installing.
Sdb - 1 tb. Has Fedora 12 installed and This is the drive I'm trying
to install Windows 7 in KVM .
So it would appear if it is a DRIVER problem, KVM would be part of the
problem.

There are many reasons why your system may crash due to a
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP or BSOD (Blue Screen of Death
) error, so this guide will provide some common tips that may solve the
problem, along with some troubleshooting advice.
This error message means that the system attempted to access pageable
memory using a kernel interrupt request level (IRQL)
that was too high. This is one of the most common errors and has many
possible causes, but the most common scenarios are:
* Faulty drivers
* Hardware issue
* Anti-virus software problem
* Overclocking too far
If you notice any filenames mentioned on the blue screen, googling for
the filename may indicate if it is attached to
any driver or software package. This can pinpoint the driver which you
need to update. SCSI, Network and graphics drivers
are often the offenders if this is a driver problem - so you can try
updating all your drivers manually if it is difficult
to track down the problem.
It is possible to analyse a "dump file" which contains more detailed
information about the crash. These dump file are
located in C:\Windows\MiniDump and can be opened using diagnostic
packages or posted to the forums for analysis by an
expert. This extra information will often provide a good clue to the
BSOD crash.
If you aren't able to boot in to Windows 7 to fix the problem, you may
be able to boot using safe mode (press F8 during
startup, or follow this guide) and access Windows again. If this still
doesn't work, try selecting the "Last known good
configuration" option. If this also fails, using system restore to roll
back your system a few days may be a valid option.
You can use your Windows 7 installation DVD to boot to the recovery
options menu, then select "System Restore".
Hardware issues are more difficult to diagnose, but if you have resorted
to a clean install of Windows 7 and the problem
still occurs, then it is a possibility. Memory is a frequent culprit, so
you can use a tool like MemTest (or the Windows 7
memory diagnostics) to check your RAM for problems. Replacing components
is often the only foolproof way to check for
faults.
