# HG changeset patch # User kfraser@localhost.localdomain # Date 1181832897 -3600 # Node ID 912f7e312ec2a56c89ef5a949b6ecc72f5df74a6 # Parent 4d838167960694f1b9fcaec54590aef0e1f0a7ee hvm svm: Fix for BSOD when "migrating" from Intel to AMD. The Intel processor driver for Windows (XP and later at least) reads an MSR that AMD doesn't have. This causes GP-fault in kernel mode, which causes blue-screen-of-death on Windows. This prevents a disk-image that was installed on Intel from starting on an AMD processor. This patch "fixes" the problem by allowing reads from the msr, returning all zero's (which is a valid, if not particulary meaningful, value for this register).
