Well, we tried our P2V again, this time with a copy of virtio-win.iso in
/usr/share/virtio-win that I put in by hand. Just like before, it died again after 3+
hours. Here is what I put in place by hand. It was a shot in the dark.

Subject: Re: [Libguestfs] Virtio-win RPM?
OK, I'm being verbose:
This link:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/c...
says:
Download the virtio-win package with the yum command.
# yum install virtio-win
The drivers are also from Microsoft (
windowsservercatalog.com).
The virtio-win package installs a CD-ROM image, virtio-win.iso, in
the /usr/share/virtio-win/ directory.
OK wonderful, I can follow a cookbook. If only the recipe were right.
[root@FedoraP2V bin]#
[root@FedoraP2V bin]# yum list available | grep virtio
[root@FedoraP2V bin]#
[root@FedoraP2V bin]# yum install virtio-win

I know yum is good on this system because I just did a yum update and it applied 600+
updates.
So this is the next thing I'm going to try - I have copies of virtio-win.iso all over
the place. I'll just put one in /usr/share/virtio-win by hand and then we'll kick
off another P2V and see how it goes.
