Category: intel Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Andreas 'ac0v' Specht (ac0v) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Windows 2003 x64 - SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED Initial Comment: Host Machine: CPU: 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz Kernel: Linux version 2.6.25-gentoo-r4 Arch: x86_64 KVM: tried kvm-69 and kvm-70 Guest System: tried Windows 2003 x64 and Windows 2003 x64 with slipstreamed Service Pack 2 Hi, I get a BSoD (see attachment) while installing Windows 2003 x64 which contains the error message SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED Serial log is empty. I start my KVM via this command: kvm -hda /dev/lvg1/sap-test -boot d -cdrom /srv/install/iso/windows/2003-server-x64.iso -vnc :4 -m 3048 -smp 4 -daemonize Using -no-kvm or the -no-kvm-pit switch doesn't help and shows only the message "Setup is starting Windows". The -no-kvm-irqchip switch has no effect (same BSoD). Any Ideas? Regards, Andreas 'ac0v' Specht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jes Sorensen (jessorensen) Date: 2010-06-25 15:32 Message: Windows 2003 x64 r2 installs and boots just fine with a 2.6.32 kernel and qemu-kvm based on 0.12.1, smp 4, 3072MB. The problem seems to be have been resolved in some of the emulator updates that went in since you tried. If you do see this problem again, please open a new bug in launchpad. Closing.

Neither win2003 x64 r2 CD nor installed system will boot, failing with BSOD SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED. Had to revert to older 2.6.28 modules having block virtio disabled again :( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: MaSc82 (masc82) Date: 2008-12-25 17:35 Message: Updated to 2.6.28 including kvm modules, which seem to work very well with kvm81, at the same time supporting win2003 x64, so all mentioned issues are resolved for me, but only when using the kvm modules of linux kernel 2.6.28. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: MaSc82 (masc82) Date: 2008-12-22 16:58 Message: I've got the same issue with kvm-81 and Linux version 2.6.27-gentoo-r7. The problem does not occur when using the kvm modules coming with the kernel, but these (probably older?) modules still have bugs with smp and block device virtio (temporary freeze).. Can anyone shed some light on this, please? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=2001121&group_id=180599 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
