Server 2003 Blue Screen after P2V

We are attempting to P2V a Windows 2003 x64 Server so we can back it up and archive it. I was unable to use VMware Converter or Starwind's converter so I made an image with Clonezilla, created a small vm, and restored the image with Clonezilla. This all went well but I can't boot into the new vm, it blue screens.

I found this KB: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_2003_guest_best_practices but I wonder if there is more I need to do.

  1. Should I be installing the VirtIO drivers before imaging the old server?
  2. Is it OK to configure a SCSI disk or should I be using IDE? (I P2V'd a 2008 server and after dropping the SCSI drive and adding it back as IDE I was able to login, that's why I'm asking).
  3. Is the x86-64-v2-AES processor OK for a 2003 server?

I'd prefer to adjust my config and have things magically work however I think I might need to add the VirtIO drivers to the server and then reimage it.

What do I need to look at to get this machine

I'll do this in the future instead of describing the config. Thanks for any help you can give.
