Unable to boot imported Windows 7 machine (P2V) - BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0002 etc.

Hi,

I'm trying to convert a physical Windows 7 machine into Proxmox 5.4.

I have seen the wiki page here - https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE

On the Windows 7 machine, I ran the mergeide.reg file to import it. I then rebooted Windows, then shut it down. I then used a disk imager to create a dd-type raw disk image of the harddisk.

On Proxmox, I created a new VM:

• OS type is Microsoft Windows, Version is 7/2008r2
• System, BIOS is "OVMF (UEFI)"
• System, Machine is i440fx (Default)
• System, SCSI controller I left at VirtIO SCSI (I assume this isn't used if I use IDE on the next page)
• Hard disk, Bus/Device is set to IDE, and storing the disk image on local-lvm
• Network card is set to Intel E1000 for the NIC.

I then plugged in the external disk with the DD disk image, and then used dd to copy it back to the LVM disk for the above VM:

root@pve:/mnt/disk1/S_20190503150057# dd if=ditto-file.001 of=/dev/pve/vm-100-disk-0
468862128+0 records in
468862128+0 records out
240057409536 bytes (240 GB, 224 GiB) copied, 2131.24 s, 113 MB/s

(In this case, disk-0 appears to be the main OS disk, and disk-1 is some small disk created for UEFI).

However, when I try to boot the VM, I get the following error:

BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0002 "UEFI QEMU HARDDISK QM00001 " from PciRoot (0x0) /Pci (0x1,0x1) /Ata(Primary,Master,0x0) : Not Found
BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0001 "UEFI QEMU DVD-ROM QM00003 " from PciRoot (0x0) /Pci (0x1,0x1) /Ata(Secondary,Master,0x0) : Not Found

>> Start PXE over IPv4
[code]
Any ideas on how to fix this, or get it booting?

Have you ever figured it out?
I ran into this problem with VM restored from the backup. Apparently I'm unable to boot ANY OVMF VM restored to lvm-thin. Curious how proxmox team would explain this.

I have the same issue, I'm not sure how to get the UEFI vhd image to boot within proxmox. Any help would be appreciated!

Ok, I was able to get it to boot. Here's what I did:

• installed the mergeide.reg as instructed here
• pulled the nvme drive put it into the new proxmox box
• create the vm within proxmox where we want the image installed
  • setup a new IDE disk the same size as the disk we want to image
  • check the disk location is /dev/rpool/data/vm-101-disk-0
• create an image of the nvme drive
  • dd if=/dev/nvme0n1 of=/dev/rpool/data/vm-101-disk-0 bs=1G status=progress
• set bios to UEFI
  • no need to add the UEFI disk that proxmox complains about, the image above has a UEFI partition
• set Machine = i440fx
  • I couldn't get q35 to work
• on "Options->Boot Order" in the settings for the VM set 'Disk ide0' to be first

• set bios to UEFI
  • no need to add the UEFI disk that proxmox complains about, the image above has a UEFI partition

that is not the same, the efi disk we want is for the non-volatile storage of the EFI vars, that has nothing to do with a uefi partition
