Thanks Ladi.

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).

Thanks,

Cam
