Hello,

In last November, Richard helped me and succeed in P2V-converting a 
windows 2003 server towards an oVirt/RHEV image.
Recent upgrades solved many ssh issues 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1167774, and conversion 
seems OK now.
The server I converted is now booting and running fine every time.

I used the very same procedure on two others 2003 servers (one in x86 
and one in 64 bits), and both are showing BSOD and the very well known 
0x...7B bug.

As it is a very known bug, I tried all that is available on earth to try 
to cope with it :
- before P2V, log as local admin, merge the mergeide.reg into the 
registry, reboot, then halt and P2V
- before P2V, boot and install the different libraries viostor, net, 
ballooning, and so on... then reboot, then P2V
- in the P2V iso GUI, disabled the conversion of every device except the 
disk (remove floppy, NICs, CDROM)
- once converted and imported into oVirt, set the disk driver as virtio, 
ide, iscsi...

BSOD remains...

I could give you every version of every parts used in the process, but 
to make it short, let say that everything is up to date, nothing may be 
more aged than two months.

I don't know what I could try next, as I think I tried everything I read 
about.
