From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

ABANDONED Windows 10 doesn't install in virt-manager (beehaw.org)

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.

Have you tried with a stock kernel instead of zen?

And windows doesn't support virtio video, use qxl.

Zen kernel should be fine. I've been running it for 4 years and haven't had any issues specific to zen.

I've tried on zen and lts, I don't have the stock kernel

Windows does support VirtIO if you load the drivers at setup. QXL doesn't help either, also tried VGA, same problem.
