Bug Description
Using Precise beta (upgraded from a clean install of Oneiric Server), when attempting to install Windows Server 2008 R2 w/SP1 into a new VM with hypervisor default hardware for that guest platform, it bluescreens with a STOP error before getting to the first installer interface screen.
This issue did not occur on Oneiric.

FWIW, the STOP error happens whether booting into the new 3.2 kernel or the Oneiric server kernel - so this isn't a kernel problem, it seems to be a KVM problem.
