0.1.208 crashes windows 11 on loading viostor

[m9x3mos]

Was attempting to setup windows 11 VM with .208 version and when I install the storage driver during the install process the system crashes out completely.
I attempt the same operations with .185 and it is working correctly.
There is something in the new driver that is incompatible with Windows 11 22000.282.

@m9x3mos
Was it a BSOD? Can you post the bugcheck code or even better a screenshot from the failing VM.
Can you post the qemu command line.
Since this project is mostly related to the virtio-win packaging and RPM building process, I would suggest opening a new issue in virtio-win project.

Btw, how did you get that 282 build? Through the official Windows Insider Program channel? We need this information for reproducing the problem.

@m9x3mos try the latest build .215 as i have no issues here for Windows 11

Hello @si458,
I just tried .215 and I am still running into the same issue. .185 still works without issue.

What hypervisor are you using?
Can you output the command you are running?

No issues here with proxmox 7.1 and Windows 11 iso direct from Windows and the 215-2 virtio iso

Hello @si458,
I am using bhyve on TrueNAS Core 12 U7.
Creation is all done by UI.
I mount a Win 11 ISO and the ISO with Virtio drivers for the install process.
Then when getting to the storage part, I point it to the win11 folder to find the storage driver.

@m9x3mos
Can you please post the qemu command line?
Thanks,

Hello @vrozenfe,
I can try and open a ticket with TrueNAS but that is not exposed to the user and is handled in the System DB which can't be viewed easily.

Hello @vrozenfe,
Think I was able to find what you are looking for

I think the last line here in the log is pointing to the problem

@m9x3mos
Thanks.
Yeah, it makes sense niw
Assertion failed: (n >= 2 && n <= BLOCKIF_IOV_MAX + 2), function pci_vtblk_proc, file /truenas-releng/freenas/_BE/os/usr.sbin

if the following patch https://pagure.io/freebsd-src/c/476068647b63dab6244e9bee4b478cf18ced2389 is still correct then
BLOCKIF_IOV_MAX is equal to 128 this is definitely contradicts with https://github.com/virtio-win/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/blob/master/viostor/virtio_stor.h#L90

I think that increasing the MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS to 512 was a kind of premature action from my side. The same sort of problem was also reported in the case of direct LUN configuration. I will try to address this issue in the next release.

Best regards,
Vadim.
