After installing NIS 2010, I starting receiving regular BSOD crashes with 0x0000007F and the parameters showing a "Double Fault".
At first I thought something was wrong with my installation so I reinstalled Windows 7 several times from scratch. I later found the thread in this forum titled "NETIO.SYS & SYMTDIV.SYS BSOD on Win7 RTM with NAV 2010 - ( 09-12-2009 )" which, for reasons I do not understand, is marked as "Solved".
This issue remains a problem.
It is important because the recommended solution is to disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP which, in effect, cripples my Windows 7 system as a member of a workgoup / homegroup. This is not a solution and really is not an effective work around.
Will this issue be fixed in an upcoming release? Will it be an NIS release? A Microsoft Windows Update? A Hotfix?
What became of the joint Microsoft / Symantec investigation referenced by "Simon" on 9-14-2009?
What happened with respect to "Microsoft is currently evaluating this problem for a possible fix in the future" referenced by Peter_Linhardt on 9-16-2008?
Here is the information from my Bugcheck Analysis:
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f)
This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind
that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that
is always instant death (double fault). The first number in the
bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc)
Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these
traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes:
If kv shows a taskGate
use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv.
Else if kv shows a trapframe
use .trap on that value
Else
.trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken
(on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap)
Endif
kb will then show the corrected stack.
