SMS OSD bluescreen 0x0000007b error after build

[jlai]

Hi all,

I'm a newb to VMWare so there may be a simple solution for this and I've already searched the forum but can't find one...

I've been able to PXE boot and build our current SOE image (WinXPSP2) using RIS to create a VM. We are moving over to SMS OSD for our desktop imaging and have had no issues deploying an SMS OSD image to a physical computer, but building it via VMWare has been unsuccessful. On boot up of a completed OSD image; a bluescreen and a STOP error (0x0000007b) is generated and reboots the VM.

Here is the vmx file of the VM with the BSOD issue:

===============================

config.version = "8"

virtualHW.version = "6"

scsi0.present = "TRUE"

memsize = "256"

ide0:0.present = "TRUE"

ide0:0.fileName = "Windows XP Professional.vmdk"

ide1:0.present = "TRUE"

ide1:0.fileName = "auto detect"

ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw"

floppy0.autodetect = "TRUE"

ethernet0.present = "TRUE"

ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE"

usb.present = "TRUE"

ehci.present = "TRUE"

sound.present = "TRUE"

sound.fileName = "-1"

sound.autodetect = "TRUE"

svga.autodetect = "TRUE"

pciBridge0.present = "TRUE"

mks.keyboardFilter = "allow"

displayName = "VMDOSD"

guestOS = "winxppro"

nvram = "Windows XP Professional.nvram"

deploymentPlatform = "windows"

virtualHW.productCompatibility = "hosted"

tools.upgrade.policy = "useGlobal"

ide1:0.autodetect = "TRUE"

floppy0.fileName = "A:"

isolation.tools.hgfs.disable = "TRUE"

ethernet0.addressType = "generated"

uuid.location = "56 4d 93 16 df aa 94 65-96 43 29 5f a5 aa 9d cd"

uuid.bios = "56 4d 93 16 df aa 94 65-96 43 29 5f a5 aa 9d cd"

ide0:0.redo = ""

pciBridge0.pciSlotNumber = "17"

scsi0.pciSlotNumber = "16"

ethernet0.pciSlotNumber = "32"

sound.pciSlotNumber = "33"

ehci.pciSlotNumber = "34"

ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:aa:9d:cd"

ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"

extendedConfigFile = "Windows XP Professional.vmxf"

ide1:0.startConnected = "FALSE"

floppy0.startConnected = "FALSE"

sound.startConnected = "FALSE"

===============================

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Jerry

The 0x0000007b error usually means there is no driver to recognize the disk. Is the original OS image using SCSI or IDE hard drive? You may need to match the disk type in VMware.

[jlai]

All hard drives are IDE type.

Is my VM configured wrong?

[sthlee · Accepted solution]

You may change the line scsi0.present = "TRUE" to "FALSE" and see if it works.

[jlai]

It looks like that did the trick.

Thanks!

Is there a global setting in VMWare workstation to disable SCSI?

Is there a global setting in VMWare workstation to

disable SCSI?

I don't think so. When creating a new VM, it will prompt you for the disk type. Once you are aware of the issue, it should not be a problem the next time.
