Windows Server 2008 R2 VM hangs

Hi vPros;

 

 

I've got a problem running af Windows Server 2008 R2 on a vSphere4 host. The installation completes, but certain simple opperations will cause the OS to hang (at a Windows level). One such operation that consequently causes this error, is to navigate through a REGEDIT session with the arrow keys: navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and press the "d" key (ex. to FF to the DISK reg.key) - the OS will hang.

 

 

The test has been done both with W2K8_R2 RTM and RC, with various vSCSI Controllers and vNICs and with both the "Windows Server 2008 64bit" and "Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit (experimental)" - all with the same result?

 

 

The vSphere host is a HP DL380G5 Intel Xeon X5460, patched to the most recent level.

 

 

Has anyone seen the same and/or found a solution?

 

 

Pre Thanks

 

 

Thomas
