There were two related bugs in the virt-v2v error messages when source inspection failed. Firstly it would print the message about running 'virt-v2v -v -x' twice: virt-v2v: error: inspection could not detect the source guest (or physical machine). Assuming that you are running virt-v2v/virt-p2v on a source which is supported (and not, for example, a blank disk), then this should not happen. You should run 'virt-v2v -v -x ... >& log' and attach the complete log to a new bug report (see http://libguestfs.org). No root device found in this operating system image. If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the complete output: virt-v2v -v -x [...] And secondly it would tell you to run virt-v2v -v -x even if you were running with verbose messages. Further fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1167623 which updates commit ab7197476de1cb3c8727caf4da429f6293ca4227.
