P2V of Win7x64 gives Stop 7B in Player 4.0.2 at bo...

mwoody70 · ‎04-23-2012

Hi,

I've tried to create a VM from a working Win7x64 SP1 installation but it fails to boot with Stop 7B in Player 4.0.2

The log file contains:

Therefore I assume the error is triggered by a missing or wrong driver for CDROM ide1:0

I've tried a Windows 'startup repair' but without success.

The log contains the following I deemed relevant for CDROM related issue diagnosis:

"ide1:0.deviceType = cdrom-raw" is the same type used for a different but working VM I created from scratch on the same hardware.

searches regarding CDROM as root cause revealed http://www.bogus.net/stop_7b_error.html but referred to XP OS version only therefore I was not sure if they would still apply.

Any comments regarding root cause & suggestions on how to get the non-working VM fixed appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

I guess your imported vmdk is connected as IDE0:0 ?
That will not work - attach the vmx-file please

how exactly did you import this VM - with Converter 5 ? - did you order LSI-SAS controller during P2V ?

mwoody70 · ‎04-24-2012

sorry I should have added the relevant part of VM config

# Settings for physical CDROM drive

ide1:0.present = "TRUE"

ide1:0.autodetect = "FALSE"

ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw"

ide1:0.startConnected = "TRUE"

ide1:0.fileName = "D:"

# First disk, size 200Gb

scsi0.present = "TRUE"

scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic"

scsi0:0.present = "TRUE"

scsi0:0.fileName = "VM_EB8440.vmdk"

scsi0:0.startConnected = "TRUE"

scsi0:0.writeThrough = "TRUE"

scsi0:0.redo = ""

Process to create was:

1) SysInternals Disk2VHD

2) StarWind V2V

3) manual changes of .vmx based on a working VM on same hardware

boot process shows the Win 7 animated logo for several seconds and seems to reach nearly the point when 'start screen' for login would be next

Hope this clarifies the problem.

Thanks

Mike

I would use
scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068"
instead - anyway - looks like all you need to do is adjust the LSI-driver so that it starts at boot.
Please read my notes http://sanbarrow.com/p2v2008r2.html

it tells you what to do - you could also try to use Converter 5 - configure machine option - but the result should be similar

mwoody70 · ‎04-24-2012

I used scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068" as suggested but this change made it worse as after power up instantly error 'Unable to allocate a PCI SCSI adapter' gets displayed.

I had read notes http://sanbarrow.com/p2v2008r2.html before starting the post but felt it did NOT apply.

This seems to be confirmed by the test.

your vmx may have an old entry assigning the scsi-controller to PCI-slot 16.

It should use slot 160 !
If unsure - please attach the completee vmx-file that you have now.

I am 99% sure that the 7b BSOD is not caused by the IDE settings you use

mwoody70 · ‎04-24-2012

I've done the following:

1) manually changed 'scsi0.pciSlotNumber = 160' (see log part below showing all actually used config values)

2) starte VM and got same error as before " I120: [msg.lsilogic.badPCI] Unable to allocate a PCI SCSI adapter."

3) after power off .vmx contains 'scsi0.pciSlotNumber = "21"' again!

From my view this could potentially indicate a conflicting setting triggering this error. I'll

I've attached the full log and vmx.

I'll use the converter 5 now to see what vmx it will produce.

try the attached vmx-file

your settings were changed for a PCI-slot while the LSI-SAS controller uses a PCIe slot - so it could not work

I've repeated the test and made screenshots of the vmx before I ran player.

0) closed player and renamed all existing .vmx and .log file in the directory

1) downloaded 'edited.vmx' again

2) open in editor and modified annotation = "VM_MHolzer_EB8440 edited" and displayName = "VM_MHolzer_EB8440 edited" and saved as VM_MHolzer_EB8440.edited.vmx (see attached VM_MHolzer_EB8440.edited.vmx.png)

3) right clicked and used 'open with vmware player' to run exactly this file

4) same error 'Too many PCI devices are already configured' (see vmware.log)

5) opened VM_MHolzer_EB8440.edited.vmx and saw again below new entries apprently added by player

uuid.location = "56 4d 36 4f e3 ac 6f e9-ae 36 d4 91 8f 3a 08 e0"

uuid.bios = "56 4d 36 4f e3 ac 6f e9-ae 36 d4 91 8f 3a 08 e0"

replay.supported = "FALSE"

replay.filename = ""

scsi0:0.redo = ""

scsi0.pciSlotNumber = "21"

usb.pciSlotNumber = "16"

ethernet0.pciSlotNumber = "17"

sound.pciSlotNumber = "18"

scsi0.sasWWID = "50 05 05 6f e3 ac 6f e0"

What else can I do to proof that I'm not cheating you and execute the process as described?

continuum · ‎04-24-2012

ok - I see you are innocent - this is a new behaviour of WS8 / VMplasyer I had not noticed before

use the new attached one

mwoody70 · ‎04-24-2012

slight improvement, we are back to where it started

.vmx gets updated with scsi0.pciSlotNumber = "160" as desired but still it ends with identical bsod after windows logo displayed for several seconds.

2012-04-24T20:03:50.652+02:00| mks| I120: WinBSOD: (16) `*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFFFFF880009A97E8,0xFFFFFFFFC0000034,0x0000000000000000,0'

looks like my case is the 1% not solved by standard approach.

As 'Windows startup repair' can't fix the problem I'm still stuck.

How about reconsidering the CDROM drivers as the root cause?

continuum · ‎04-24-2012

use the approach with the Windows 7 recovery CD I describe in the link I already gave you

if you dont have one - get one
http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/

The IDE-driver for the CDrom is 99% innocent - feel free to remove the CD-drive for a test

upgrade to Player version 4.0.3 solved my issue finally without going thru the process descibed on http://sanbarrow.com/p2v2008r2.html
