P2V Citrix Server

My Physical server is Windows 2000 SP4 with Citrix Metaframe 1.8 on a HP Proliant ML370 G2, with 2 mirrored drives. I am running VMWare 3.0.1 and am using the VMWare Converter to P2V this machine. it keeps erroring out. Logs are below. Any ideas?

Attached are the entries from the Machine running Converter

Answered my own question....

1) On the source host, open regedit

2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM

3) Export the key for backup-archive-restore purposes

4) Delete CcmPort3 thru CcmPort9

Voila! Converting happily.
