[SOLVED] Windows 2008 BSOD after migration from ESXi 6.0

[beriapl]

Hello,

I'm a bit stuck here.
I need to recover the old VM from died ESXi 6.0
I've got only files from VMWare, and in .vmx I've got this line:

scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068"

I've converted .vmdk to qcow2 using qemu-img convert.

I'm able to see boot same as in this thread: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/windows-2008-r2-guest-bsod-proxmox-6-0.56100/

When I go to repair windows installation - I need to first add drivers from virtio.iso, (without adding drivers this installed windows disk is not even visible) then I see this:



But it won't repair system when I go next, so my best guess is just missing driver during boot. But... how to actually inject those drivers?

This is my VM config on proxmox (newest one 6.4-4 - fresh installation):

qm config 100
boot: order=scsi0
cores: 1
ide2: local:iso/virtio-win-0.1.185.iso,media=cdrom,size=402812K

You're better off attaching the disk using IDE or SATA, getting it to boot up, then install virtio driver and finally switch it over.
Going straight to any disk controller with no driver will almost always BSOD with Windows 7/2008 variants.

Right, but what type of controller I should choose to install any driver then?

This should be no problem, but you can use the default one.

I've tried almost all of those, and it worked with: LSI53C810 + HDDs on IDE.

Thanks for suggestions!
