Thank you Paolo !

FC25 - VM "OK" - Linux Kernel : 4.10.5-200.fc25.x86_64
FC25 - VM "Not OK" - Linux Kernel : 4.10.8-200.fc25.x86_64

I tried with "pml=0" and same result.

Finally I decided (hopeless) to re-transfer the windows disk image
from my laptop to the server and... it worked! :O I dunno if a couple
of bits got corrupted somehow during initial transfer but, I feel so,
it can't be a random luck.

Thank you again guys! I really appreciated the support!
