Hi, I'm running oVirt 3.6.3.4-1.el7.centos and when I install a Win 7 guest VM, using VirtIO disk, networking etc, it goes through the install process ok, but blue screens upon boot with a vioscsi.sys error (attached). I have tried the official version ovirt-guest-tools-iso 3.6.0 0.2_master.fc22, as well as some earlier and later versions. I am using a PXE boot method with a Windows deployment server, which has the drivers from the oVirt tools ISO installed (indeed, it picks up the drive and networking and I can see it installing the drivers). I have tried with the generic IDE and rtl8139 config on the guest, and it also fails with the same vioscsi.sys error after rebooting upon finishing installation even though I'm using IDE as the disk driver. I have uploaded a win 7 x64 ISO and tried installing that, and it loads the VirtIO viostor driver (using the method at: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/virtual-machines/create-a-windows...), and even manages to partition the disks, but fails to install on the disk (screenshot attached). I've tried temporarily removing the vioscsi files from the install server as a last resort, but as expected it fails to install properly, though I thought it used the viostor driver instead. Thanks for any help. Regards, Cam

The crash mentions vioscsi.sys, not viostor.sys, which the second bug report mentioned. The other thing is that the crash happens after the install, upon first reboot. The contents of the Windows guest tools ISO are copied to the Windows Deployment server from where they are installed. When I try an alternative install using a Win 7 ISO, rather than PXE boot, it fails at a different point. This is using the oVirt Windows guest tools ISO that is in the 3.6.3 repos. When it comes to installing to disk, I change the CD to the guest tools ISO and browse to the win7 drivers (ovirt-tools-setup/drivers/virtio/viostor/w7/amd64/, which has the viostor drivers), but then the installer complains it cannot install on the disk, even though it can successfully create partitons on it (see attached screenshot).

This is one of the first builds signed only with the new SHA-2 based certificate which is not supported on Windows 7 out-of-the-box. Installing a hotfix per:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/3033929.aspx
will fix it.
Thanks Ladi.
No worries. I forgot to mention that this will be fixed in a future driver release, either by dual-signing the binaries with both SHA-1 and SHA-2 or only SHA-1. Requiring the Windows hotfix is a workaround until then.
If yes, any idea what can be the issue Cam faces?
As for the original BSOD, the problem there was trying to load Win8 vioscsi.sys on Win7 and should be fixed by pointing Windows to the Win7 subdirectory like you wrote.
Relevant bugs:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1289406 (signing issue) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1296633 (target OS version mismatch)
The crash mentions vioscsi.sys, not viostor.sys, which the second bug report mentioned.
It is the same issue though, I have checked the timestamp in your BSOD screenshot. The driver running on the system at the time of crash was a build targeted at Win8 or newer.
The other thing is that the crash happens after the install, upon first reboot. The contents of the Windows guest tools ISO are copied to the Windows Deployment server from where they are installed.
Can you feed only the Win7 subset of the ISO to WDS? Sorry, I am not familiar with WDS enough to be more helpful. The problem with all the virtio-win releases so far is that the drivers don't declare the minimum Windows version they support. So Windows (or in this case WDS?) is free to choose any of them, usually going after the highest version which tends to be the Win8 variety. This will also be fixed soon.
When I try an alternative install using a Win 7 ISO, rather than PXE boot, it fails at a different point. This is using the oVirt Windows guest tools ISO that is in the 3.6.3 repos. When it comes to installing to disk, I change the CD to the guest tools ISO and browse to the win7 drivers (ovirt-tools-setup/drivers/virtio/viostor/w7/amd64/, which has the viostor drivers), but then the installer complains it cannot install on the disk, even though it can successfully create partitons on it (see attached screenshot).
What does it say when you click "Show details"?
Thanks,
Cam

Same bsod was with win2008 server, in order to fix it we changed nics to e1000 and disks to IDE. Now it boots w/o trouble. Am 10.05.2016 7:43 nachm. schrieb "Cam Mac" <iucounu@gmail.com>:
Hi Tomas,
The install went ok, but Windows complains:
"File: \windows\system32\drivers\vioscsi.sys status: 0xc0000428 Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file"

Hi Ladi,

We will try just the win 7 drivers that shipped with 3.6.3 rather than the SHA-2 signed FC23 drivers and I'll get back to you. I have a question: if I try to build a Win2k12 server via WDS, I assume I will have to add the 2k12 drivers and then remove them again if I go to build a Win 7 VM as Win 7 will presumably try to pick up the 2k12 driver? Or can they co-exist? WDS has a build process whenever drivers are added (e.g., for KVM, VMWare etc) for available drivers. Do you know when the fix will be available?

It just says: Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error: 0x80300001 (see attached) I've tried a variety of different ways to do this, by deleting all partitions, allowing Windows to create them again, formatting them etc. I've tried both the viostor and vioscsi drivers with the same result. No matter what partition I select (System or Primary) it always produces the same error. Any ideas on when the newly signed drivers will be available? Kind regards, Cam

Sorry for replying to my own post, but it turns out that there should be a way in WDS to set separate build directories for Win 7 and 2012, so please disregard that question. The build appears to be going well so far, no BSODs. Thanks very much for the help Ladi! Cheers, Cam

No worries, I'm glad that you're not blocked anymore.
Any ideas on when the newly signed drivers will be available?
Shouldn't take more than a few weeks, I'll keep you posted. Thanks, Ladi

Just a quick update, hope it's ok to reply to this old thread. It took longer than expected but virtio-win-0.1.126-1.noarch has just been released and it fixes both the signing issue (no more SHA-2 signatures) and the versioning issue (minimum target Windows version is now declared by all drivers which should prevent the version mixups). Thanks, Ladi
