I have a windows 2003 server that I converted from a vmware image to a domU. It works, but I have one PCI Device that is not being found.

How did you do it? I've tried following this URL:

http://ian.blenke.com/vmware/vmdk/xen/hvm/qemu/vmware_to_xen_hvm.html

but so far no go, nothing on the console and VM reboots after 10 seconds.

My basics steps are: 1) Import registy entries as in this doc: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314082/ 2) vmware-vdiskmanager -r windows2003.vmdk -t 0 windows2003-flattened.vmdk 3) qemu-img convert windows-2003-flattened.vmdk windows2003.img 4) 2 and 3 I used a windows machine so then I ftp the img file to my xen server. 5) mount the img file and copy in hal.dll. Once in a while I can't modify the img file so I have to redo 3 and 4 6) then I use virt-manager to create a new domU and specify the img file for the hard disk. I've done three that have worked fine. Another one refuses to boot. It tries, but the processor utilization for that domU goes to 100% and it never loads. Really don't know why and I'm stuck on that one. Once I'm happy with it, I dd it to an lv.
