virt-v2v dropped support for Windows XP guests when the driver was removed from the virtio-win package. The driver has been re-added in RHEL 6.1, so virt-v2v should support it again. This is a trivial configuration change to the default configuration.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: virt-v2v in RHEL 6.1 re-introduces support for Windows XP guests with the latest version of virtio-win. A new installation will have this support automatically. However, a user upgrading from an earlier version of virt-v2v may have to manually alter /etc/virt-v2v.conf. If you see the following error message when attempting to convert a Windows XP guest: virt-v2v: No app in config matches os='windows' name='virtio' major='5' minor='1' arch='i386' the following section must be added to /etc/virt-v2v.conf: <app os='windows' major='5' minor='1' arch='i386' name='virtio'> <path>/usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/i386/WinXP</path> </app> <app os='windows' major='5' minor='1' arch='x86_64' name='virtio'> <path>/usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/amd64/WinXP</path> </app>
