Can you try omitting the model from the vif declaration? That's the only 
difference I can see between yours and my servers.

The crashing driver is reported as sacdrv.sys, but that's part of the OS as far 
as I can tell. Maybe there is something about the e1000 driver that windows 
doesn't like having it unplugged by GPLPV?
