Server 2016 BSOD Loop
-
On 11/12, one of my Server 2016 VM's got stuck in a boot loop.
It starts, and then has a BSOD with the code KMODE Exception Not Handled.
Taking the VHD from our storage server and copying it to a Hyper-V server allows it to boot. The issue seems to be with XCP-NG.
My two hosts are XCP-NG 8.3.0 with the latest patches applied. I've had this VM for a few years - and it seemed fine after the migration to 8.3.0 - until it wasn't. None of our other VM's have this issue.
This VM has secure boot disabled and does not have a VTPM. There are no passthrough PCI or USB devices.

Additionally, I just did a fresh install of Server 2016 in a new VM and experienced the exact same code as soon as the VM finished the OS install and rebooted the first time with no drivers or anything.
Seems to be an issue with Server 2016 VM's.

Could you describe the hardware being used?

@dinhngtu Dell R660 with 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5416S
-
@guiltykeyboard Both of my hosts are identical

I think it's a compatibility problem with newer Intel CPUs. We have some experimental patches available. Do you have an identical host for testing purposes? Could you install the following RPMs and see if it helps?

If you don't want to install test RPMs you could try the following command instead:
xe vm-param-add uuid=... param-name=platform msr-relaxed=true
