I am currently trying to migrate from ESXi 5.5 to Proxmox 5.0. For my Server 2008 guests there were no problems at all. Server 2012R2 and up will fail booting with BSOD. I tried to use MergeIDE from here: https://www.andysblog.de/windows-mergeide-v3-0 but had no success. Both 2008 and 2012R2 Servers use "LSI Logic SAS" Interfaces in ESXi. Is there anything else I might not have thought of or any other solution to migrate to Proxmox?

did you try to set the scsi controller also to lsi?
what is your pveversion -v ?
did you remove the vmware tools (if they were installed) before you migrated?

Yes I also set the scsi controller to lsi and set the hard disks to scsi - no success

did you remove the vmware tools (if they were installed) before you migrated?

just tried it and sticked to the wiki. even used the mergeide from proxmox directly. No success
