I've seen the same problem for several months now on both 32-bit and 64-bit
versions of 2008. Your /var/log/setup.log probably also shows that most if
not all the postinstall scripts failed for the same reason.
That said, there are other Win2008 boxes I have successfully installed on
and I have yet to find the significant difference between the boxes that
succeed and
those that fail.
So, unfortunately I don't have a solution, but I thought it was worth pointing
out that there are others having the same problem. As I continue to have time,
I'll keep experimenting and will post if I find a solution or just more info.
In my case I always installed on a very stock system (pretty much a straight
install of Vista Business from an MSDN install image). Between cygwin install
attempts (I have retried frequently over time) I fully remove the previous
cygwin install (remove c:\cygwin, remove start menu and registry items
manually).
Then I simply do a install without adding any additional packages.
I've had similar problems with 64-bit Win2003 and but without more root analysis
I can't really claim that's the same problem. I also had a suspicion that
Vista with SP1 also could exhibit the problem, but that's pretty anecdotal at
this time.
[And if anyone has some insight on how we can carry the diagnosis of the problem
to further detail, any info would be appreciated. Thanks!]

Subject: 1.5.25-14 cygwin on Windows Server2008 Intel64 does not run
I have installed cygwin (1.5.25-14)on an Intel64 machine running Windows
Server2008 (Data Center) 64bit OS.
The installation goes fine – but if I click on the cygwin icon, a cygwin
command prompt window appears for a second and then terminates.
I tried running:
C:\cygwin\bin>C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat
4 [main] bash 884 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Exception:
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
876 [main] bash 884 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to
bash.exe.stackdump
9880 [main] bash 884 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Exception:
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
10389 [main] bash 884 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Error while dumping state
(probably corrupted stack)
