An update rollup package for the Hyper-V role in Windows Server 2008 R2: August 24, 2010Article ID: 2264080 - View products that this article applies to. On This PageSYMPTOMSThis article describes an update rollup package that resolves some issues for the Hyper-V role on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 and that is dated August 24, 2010. Issue 1When a computer has one or more Intel CPUs code-named Nehalem installed, you receive the following Stop error message:0x00000101 ( parameter1 , 0000000000000000, parameter3 , 000000000000000c) CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT Issue 2Consider the following scenario:
Note You have to restart the VM to recover from this issue. Issue 3When a computer has an Intel Westmere processor, you receive an error message that resembles the following:STOP: 0x0000001a ( Parameter1 , Parameter2 , Parameter3 , Parameter4 ) MEMORY_MANAGEMENT CAUSECause of Issue 1This issue occurs because of a known erratum of the Intel code-named Nehalem processors.The known erratum creates some spurious interrupts. Therefore, you receive the Stop code error that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section. For more information about the known erratum, see the following Intel documents: Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series Specification Update, July 2010

Cause of Issue 2This issue occurs because of a race condition in the hypervisor.Cause of Issue 3This issue occurs because the hypervisor does not handle the caching from the Virtual Machine Control Block (VMCB) feature correctly. Therefore, some memory is corrupted, and the Stop error occurs.Note The new VMCB feature of the Intel Westmere processors increases the performance of the hypervisor by improving virtualization. However, the VMCB feature was introduced after Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows 2008 R2 were released. Therefore, this issue occurs.
