Was having a problem booting a Windows 2016 Server Image for KVM/Openstack, used the exact example from,

https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-...

The image would build just fine, uploaded to glance, tried to boot and would just get the Windows Blue Icon just stuck!

On all Compute Nodes checked the /etc/nova/nova.conf

Under the [Libvert] Section: my "cpu_mode=" was set to

[libvirt]

cpu_mode=none

Simply just changed "cpu-mode=" to

[libvirt]

cpu_mode=host-passthrough

And Whalla! The image booted right up!

So if your getting stuck booting with a Blue Windows Icon just sitting there/stalling,

Or you see "Stop Code: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED", I would check the [Libvert] section on compute nodes to see what your cpu_mode= is set to

Thanks Adrian! That was exactly the reason!! I had a problem a while back with Ubuntu 16.04 not booting and had to set "cpu_mode=none" in able to get Ubuntu to boot. So changed to "cpu_mode=host-passthrough" and now both Windows/Ubuntu are booting just fine!!! Thanks again for all your help!!!

Hey Adrian, So here is the link to the PasteBin https://pastebin.com/ymRBqqek it looks like to me the drivers are being injected as they should, Thanks for all your help!

Hello,

I am trying to build an Online 2016 Server Standard Image and have been unsuccessful,

I am using the example from the readme exactly how the example is,

PowerShell image generation example for OpenStack KVM

https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-...

I would just like to build a simple Server 2016 Standard Eval Openstack KVM Image,

Host Machine:

• Server 2016 Standard
• Hyper-V Installed
• Lastest ADK Installed
• Server 2016 Image Mounted on Host
• Git Environment

The image builds just fine and then Hyper-V starts, the scripts run, Hyper-V shuts down, and then the image builds as it should, no error nothing

I then upload the image to glance, and then try to launch the image and get an error:

Stop Code: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED

Then it will reboot and then just hang with the "Windows Blue Logo"

I have tried to troubleshoot but can't seem to see anything to explain why nova just isn't booting this image?

Any help would be much appreciated! Thank You

Are you guys planning on updating your "Windows Cloud Images" to the Server 2016 Release?

Thanks
