That's why they call it BETA!
I am excited about Windows Server 2008's virtualization story. 64-bit support on the host and guests. Wohooo!!! This is fun stuff. I bought a new Dell server for the specific purpose of putting Win2k8 on it and then loading up a bunch of virtual machines. Life is good! Installed the base OS, did the few tricks to get Hypervisor working, then started installing my guests. Then...bad things started happening...bad things man...bad things...! The virtualization service started crashing...and not just a little bit either! Here's the error in the Application Log:
Log Name: Application

Off to do some research. I hope the answer is not "install the latest build"!
Enjoy...
