There is a new version (0.9.8) on the website which includes UNTESTED support for HP Smart Array controllers (cciss).
Tested 0.9.8 on BL20p G3 and received the following error message: Command Failed: mount '/dev/mapper/snapcciss_c0d0' /mnt/root RHEL3u9 system attempting to be captured - will attached screenshot, dmesg output and virt-p2v.log as requested.

Tested with v0.9.9 that supports LVM snapshots and issue has been corrected. I can move systems configured for ext3 /dev/cciss/c0d0 partitions or those with LVM volumes on the /dev/cciss/c0d0.
virt-p2v has been rewritten. I'm reassigning this bug to Matt Booth to make sure that the new virt-p2v will work with /dev/cciss devices.
There is a new version of virt-p2v and virt-v2v: http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v/
