(boot from pvscsi is supported since 4.0u1)
When I just change the controller to pvscsi from a existing virtual machine (after installing vmware tools) I get a bsod when I boot this machine.
Is there any better / quicker way as the following to switch the scsi controller of the boot device from an exsiting windows virtual machine?
1. Install newest vmware tools
2. if you have a second vmdk, switch the scsi devicenumber to SCSI 1:0 (this will create a new second scsi controller).
3. Switch the new created SCSI Controller (1) to paravirtual.
4. Boot the vm.
5. the pvscsi controller driver will be installed.
6. shut down the vm.
7. change the devicenumber of the second vmdk back (the second scsi controller will be removed)
8. change the first scsi controller (0) to paravirtual.
9. boot the vm.
