BSOD on boot in NDIS.sys

[JonathonReinhart]

Several times I've seen a crash in NDIS.sys at boot - before the login screen is even shown. I have to assume this is the VirtIO Ethernet driver. I believe I also saw a similar BSOD when I first tried to load the driver.

Unfortunately, for some reason, no minidump is generated, even though the system is configured to do so. Also, this bug is not easily reproduced. I'll leave this bug open as a reminder, and a place to record any findings.

Hi Jonathon,

What driver version are you using? We had some unstable release due to the
work done on multi-queue feature.

Best regards,
Yan.

I'm using the latest release, 0.1-94, or RedHat 61.71.104.9400

Commit

fixed this problem right after 94 was released.

It appears that I just picked a bad time to start playing with Windows 7 on KVM then :-)
I'll close this and wait for the next release.

There is a stable version without multi-queue:

Please use it.
