Was: qemu-kvm-2.6.0 fails to allow windows installer to run
This is a regression from 2.5.1. Partial fix is here: http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=94ef4f337fb614f18b765a8e0e878a4c23cdedcd
Current trunk build works as expected. This only affects Windows installation, not existing VMs, and results in blue screen with either KMODE_* or IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
Still investigating additional required changes for complete fix.

For something like this, I would expect a new release fairly soon. I recommend waiting a couple of days instead of putting in a lot of effort right now.

Yes, assuming they are close to target, 2.7.0-rc0 is today, with release planned for 2016-08-18. http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/2.7 Probably just sit on it for a bit. If needed, can just install on an unaffected host, and move it after the installation for the next few weeks.

I installed 2.6.1 and did a quick debian jessie install on it. It seemed OK to me.
I just left this open for the 2.7 version when it is released.

I've built this version and on an LFS system it works find. I'll take the ticket and fix it.

Seems to be fixed on all but Cirrus video at rev a93c1bdf0bd4689287094ddb2aae3dc907da3535 per other bug reports.
