[Solved] Windows Server 2019 Guru Meditation

Post by Ranvir »

I have attached the log for guru meditation. I'm having trouble running win server 2019. I already change from Windows 2016(64bit) to Other Windows(64bit).

Thanks.

I fixed by enabling something in the bios. I forgot the name but it has something to do with Servers.

Since it's easy enough to get to the BIOS, would you mind checking again and sharing the exact setting? TIA...

Remembering fth0's detective work with a tripe-fault once, I hunted the log for the NX bit, and found:
00:00:01.621018
00:00:01.280412 EnablePAE <integer> = 0x0000000000000001 (1)
.....
CPUM: WARNING! Can't turn on NX/XD when the host doesn't support it!
....
00:00:01.621105 ************************* CPUID dump ************************
....
00:00:01.621342 NX - No-Execute/Execute-Disable = 0 (0)
Maybe that's the BIOS setting??

Most probably. The guest is trying to set the NXE (NX enable) bit in the EFER (Extended Feature Enable Register), thereby activating the unavailable NX functionality and causing the crash.

On my "ASUS P5W DH Deluxe" motherboard, this feature is called "Execute Disable Function" and it's got to be Enabled.

Marking as [Solved] and moving it from "Windows Hosts" to "Windows Guests".
