Description of problem
When trying to install Windows 7, it always crashes with PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. This also impacts Windows 8.1, but crashes when it tries to start up the installation disc.
Steps to reproduce
- Create A VM with the Windows 7 installation disc inside the cdrom.
- Go through the installation
- At some point, it will pull a blue screen with a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. (around expanding windows files or completing installation)
Additional information
It looks like this bsod is relating to some non-canonical (illegal) virtual address being referenced. (It's just my guess based on the stop code)
