Hi, Using stock RHEL5 xen (Xen version 3.1.2-92.1.10.0.1.el5) we are reliably able to get Windows Server 2008 x64 (as HVM) to bluescreen while running a windows update. The error on the windows side is a ''STOP 0x00000101'', this only seems to occur when we have more than once VCPU allocated to the DomU. Any ideas where to look for solutions and/or clues? Thanks, David. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
