New Contents:
Previously the virt-v2v package contained VirtIO drivers required for converting Microsoft Windows guests. The new package removes these drivers. Instead, it expects to take them from the virtio-win package, which is available in the RHEL 5 Supplementary channel. Installing or updating virt-v2v does not automatically install virtio-win. Attempting to convert a Windows guest without the virtio-win package installed will give an error about missing files.
Also note that this change requires an update to the default configuration file. This change will be applied automatically when upgrading virt-v2v if the default configuration file has not been modified. If it has been modified, it is strongly recommended that the changes made are re-applied to the new default configuration file.
