Hello I was trying to update some windows XP (SP3) images on kvm.
It worked fine several times but last time I added mass storage drivers to sysprep and now on the second boot after reseal (the first is mini-setup) I get a BSOD with message DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I can post the screenshot if somebody thinks it is interesting enough. The same image works on hardware (which has controllers different from the qemu PIIX3) and in VirtualBox (with the default PIIX4 as well as PIIX3) so long as IO apic is enabled). I am not sure if this is an error with the MS drivers or how they are used in sysprep in this particular case or if his is some strange error in qemu emulation in the PIIX3 controller or elsewhere. The imge is originally created on hardware with MP acpi (not virtualization). If you have any ideas how to diagnose it I would be interested in hearing them. Thanks Michal
