Has anyone had success installing a FULL checked build inside a VM?
(VMWare/VBox) I could name quite a few issues with the installation.
(tried XP, Srv03 and W7SP1…)
Sorry for a bit offtopic, but I do not lurk in the ntdev list.

I have failed terribly in the past… Tried with Windows 7 and 2008 R2 on
both VmWare and Hyper-V. Checked build seems to have a mind of its own. The
installation itself failed with bug checks. 
While it failed sometimes, it
did install other times.
So, then I moved to using checked build only on physical machine only. But
who likes that.

Hi Dejan,
I was able to install a full checked build on a VM but, I had to connect the WinDbg to it during the installation, since I was getting some BSOD during the installation. You can do it just pressing F8 during its very first boot. (after getting some files copied from the media, I guess)
As far as I can remember, there were some ASSERTs that I had to ignore.

Testing on a physical machine? Not again 
I’ll stick to using a few debug images only if I can’t get them to
work
Maybe VPC would work? Anyone?

Most recently, yes - Win7 (RTM) x64 CHK in VMWare Workstation 7.1.3-324285
(as well as a few 7.1.x-xxxx previous builds.
Overall, I’d have to say that this success was a fairly exceptional case, if
memory serves me correctly. I’ve had issues more often than not, especially
with older builds of the os, though if I recall correctly, that was usually
due to the same chk ACPI bugcheck that’s been around for years on some
platforms.
I haven’t yet tried with W7SP1.
What are you seeing?

Indeed there are boatloads of asserts, but that’s not at all unique to the
VM experience, in my opinion. All part of the CHK experience.

The checked build has some ACPI asserts that are quite sensitive and
probably wrong. Since XP I have not been able to install on any system
without Windbg connected to continue through these asserts.
Also, be aware that much of the testing code (for instance DTM and
before that HCT’s) does not work properly on the checked build. The
install of these items triggers so many asserts the install fails.

Don, right during the start of the installation of the OS, how did you get
to attach Windbg?
And yes, you are so very right about installing anything else under checked
build OS. It feels as if the installation was not at all built for the OS;
you just get too many ASSERTs.

An 0x8E with 0xC0000420 (ASSERTS) bugcheck. Getting WinDBG to run with these VMs is not working out for me (it’s
also not always working for any VM on this computer for some reason).
I could sometimes get past it, but after I get a license verification error 0x80070002, which indicates either a
boot drive letter was changed (nope…) or that the default cryptography provider is changed (again… it just got
installed :D). That one I can’t get passed 
(the Microsoft\Cryptography key mentioned in several articles does not
exist yet).

Other stuff not working on the debug builds does not frighten me, rather I wish to run some tests with a
complete debug system.
It’s “good” to see it’s a common issue.

I’d have to install another OS for that, and run it Plus if it doesn’t fully work on it, it won’t matter.

Hmm. I’ve definitely gotten that one - the license error - before as well,
but I don’t remember what I did about it, which makes me strongly think that
I just gave up and went with a partial chk build.
Sorry I don’t have better.

Vista seems to have some trouble with the IPv6 DHCP client too, which
has been fixed in 7.
I don’t think I’ve run a full checked build in a VM yet, but with
VirtualBox the key thing is to not install the VM tools because
vboxsf.sys tries to close an invalid file handle when booting.

On 2003 and XP you can edit txtmode.sif see my paper
http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?article=264 on 2003 and later
systems F8 works, you just have to be careful because they have changed
the baudrate depending on the OS. I’ve only used it a couple of times,
but Windows setup has switches to enable the debugger see

No problem, I’ve spent a day trying to get several builds to work, but seeing other were not successful at least
partially solves the issue - I’ll let it go.
Thanks all.

Probably the best plan, or at least a very popular one.
I’m installing x86_64-win7sp-chk right now in that same version of VMWare;
I’ll let you know how it goes.

For what it’s worth, I was just able to install x86_64-win7sp1-chk in VMWare
Workstation 7.1.3-324285 and other than having to ‘a’ for a few assertions,
debugging (via VirtualKD) seems to work fine, at least at first glance.

I have installed W2K8 R2 on a VMWare VM. The install worked fine. I get a
bunch of ASSERTS from the display driver during boot but after that it runs
without any problems.

I have failed terribly in the past… Tried with Windows 7 and 2008 R2 on
both VmWare and Hyper-V. Checked build seems to have a mind of its own. The
installation itself failed with bug checks. While it failed sometimes, it
did install other times.
So, then I moved to using checked build only on physical machine only. But
who likes that.

Has anyone had success installing a FULL checked build inside a VM?
(VMWare/VBox) I could name quite a few issues with the installation.

Sorry for a bit offtopic, but I do not lurk in the ntdev list.
