I need help getting Windows 10 to install on my KVM.
When the machine starts it shows the Windows loading screen for a second and immediately shows a BSOD “SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED”.
I’ve tried multiple ISOs, modded and vanilla, based on different updates of Windows 10 and 11, I can’t even get into the setup at any of them, any help appreciated.
QEMU Settings are:
Chip: Q35
FW: BIOS (UEFI only gives shell with any UEFI options)
CPU: 4 vCPU (Default setting I think)
RAM: 8 Gigs
Boot settings: No boot menu
#1 SATA CD-ROM (Windows ISO)
#2 SATA HDD (empty 300GB qcow2)
#3 SATA CD-ROM (VirtIO drivers)
Network is default
Video is VirtIO, tried all the other options too, but to no avail
HOST runs on:
OS: Arch Linux 6.5.5-zen1-1-zen
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600
RAM: 16GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Nouveau driver)
UPDATE: After failing multiple times, formatting my drive, installing Fedora, trying and failing again, formatting my drive again, reinstalling Arch, I have enough. I’ll just continue to dual boot for the time being until I get a new CPU.
Does anything else work? For example, can you boot a Debian live disk? What about a Debian install on a VM? This will help isolate the problem to internal or external of the hypervisor.
every other linux distro I tried (Fedora, Manjaro, Linux Mint) worked fine in live usb, didn’t install any of them though
