Hi Michal,
I did try a clean install. Both an upgrade and a fresh install cause a blue screen.
How do I pin point the blue screen? I’m guessing it’s a QEMU issue with Win 10. I’m on
Fed 22, how do I get a newer QEMU than what’s in the distribution? or should I just
upgrade to Fedora 24?
Hi,
As the next email in the thread mentions, worth trying different CPU family (make sure you
dont’ use anything too old due like Conroe), or host CPU passthrough.
I would certainly suggest to try the qemu-kvm-rhev/ev since it focuses on stability. Try
RHEL/CentOS host instead of Fedora.
Thanks,
michal
