Fixed In Version: libguestfs-1.36.3-3.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Converted Windows UEFI guests boot properly Previously, when converting Windows 8 UEFI guests, _virtio_ drivers were not installed correctly. Consequently, the converted guests did not boot. With this update, _virtio_ drivers are installed correctly in Windows UEFI guests. As a result, converted Windows UEFI guests boot properly.

Can't boot os normally after converting windows uefi guest from vmware to kvm by virt-v2v

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[ 397.2] Finishing off

2:After conversion successfully,boot the guest we can see there is no error info but we can see the display unnormally by virt-manager or virt-viewer as the attachment picture.

# virsh start win8-uefi
Domain win8-uefi started

Actual results:
as above

Expected results:
The guest with uefi should be boot and display normally .

Addition info:
1:When convert windows2012r2 guest with uefi ,it can't boot with the same error with win8.1.
2:When convert rhel7.3 with uefi,it boot normally.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-04-12 10:48:30 UTC
I see no obvious reason why it would fail, but I'll have to
test things locally.

From the BSOD capture:

Bug Check 0x7B: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff559218(v=vs.85).aspx

  [...] changing the BIOS configuration [...] might induce this error

The MSDN article suggests that WinDbg can be used -- in our case: connected from another Windows VM -- to figure out the cause that underlies INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE.

BSOD 0x7B is typically caused by a missing or broken storage driver.

Given that this is Q35, is it possible that the virtio-block device is configured as modern-only? From the log it looks like we only install the driver for VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001 and not for the modern VEN_1AF4&DEV_1042.

Yes, this does seem possible.  At least it's easy for me to change
that and test it anyhow ...

I had a chat with libvirt developers and it seems as if machine=q35
does imply virtio-1.0 only.  If we wanted to enable legacy virtio we'd
need to use the disable-legacy=off flag, but libvirt provides no way
to get that.  In any case this does appear to be a bug in virt-v2v
as described by comment 5.

Comment 8 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-04-13 12:21:09 UTC
I was able to reproduce this (or at least an 0x7B) error by:

(1) Install Win8 UEFI guest.  I'm using local libvirt for this, for
    convenience.  Shut it down after installation.

(2) Modify the libvirt XML to change the loader from
    OVMF_CODE.fd to OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd.  This will ensure that
    virt-v2v chooses machine='q35' during conversion.

(3) Modify the libvirt XML to remove any IDE CD-ROMs (because of
    bug 1442036).

(4) Perform virt-v2v conversion using:
    virt-v2v -i libvirt test1 -o local -os /var/tmp -on test2
    Check that virtio drivers are installed during the conversion.

(5) Define and boot the guest:
    virsh define /var/tmp/test2.xml
    virsh start test2

The boot should fail with a 0x7B error.

Comment 9 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-04-13 12:26:39 UTC
And I was able to verify that the fix I proposed here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-April/msg00135.html

does fix the 0x7B error in the previous comment.  Therefore moving
to POST state.

Comment 11 Laszlo Ersek 2017-04-13 13:40:27 UTC
Awesome!

Ladi, thank you very much for the incredible insight in comment 5.

Comment 12 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-04-13 13:49:48 UTC
Indeed, I don't think we'd have solved this without Ladi's comment.
