I used VMWare Converter to create .wmdk image to use as KVM in proxmox. But after all done. Windows 2003 causes blue screen. I tried different disk types like ide, sata etc. but none helped. What should I investigate you suggest? Cpu type? Ethernet type? I seems like blue screen is because like hardware change but not sure could be something else.
Physical to KVM but blue screen.

Proxmox supports .wmdk image so why wiki says convert to qcow2? Can not I directly use .wmdk image?
qcow2 and raw are primary storage formats in kvm. vmdk is a second class citizen only to be used when converting from VmWare. You could also see the vmdk format as a way of transition in and out to kvm from primarily VmWare and raw for other virtualizers since all other virtualizers knows raw (I have no knowledge with Hyper-V where raw seems to be referred to as passthrough disks)
Ok thank you guys. All went fine. But when 2003 starts up, at login screen keyboard, mouse or Send Key command does not work. It does not seem like it is freezy but instead OS does not get input command from keyboard and mouse nor send key command. What do you think?
No not even send command menu in proxmox. But I can show up safe mode menu - F8 and can press enter there - which maybe its normal.
vmware-tools have no usage in proxmox. A side note: What version of (version of vmware) vmdk did you use in wmware? Maybe you need to ensure the vmdk file is compatible with vmware 4.x.
Ok after waiting for a while, os installed some thing (probably some drivers) and now I can command it.
Thanks everyone.
