I am trying to upgrade a recently P2V'd server, but I get STOP Error 0X0000000A every time I try.. It always gets this STOP error when it is trying to install devices during the upgrade process. Any ideas? Stop error below

    Driver issue of some sort, which I'm sure you had guessed - is VMware Tools installed before trying to upgrade, and are there any junk virtual hardware devices that came in with the conversion that you can get rid of? Aug 10, 2011 at 16:50
  • Just tried uninstalling vmware tools before install, same BSOD. I will check for junk hardware devices.. I was thinking about trying this: tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=419

  • I meant as far as any devices that VMware thought the device needed and carried over to the VM which can be nuked - USB or serial ports, extra SCSI devices, etc. Aug 10, 2011 at 19:13
  • Where is the log?

Probably a device driver, possibly one of the vmtools ones, did you update these before updating?

  • Yes. Should I uninstall vmware tools?

  • if you can, see if that's any more stable but I'd still suggest you add in the latest vmtools at some point.

Could be a SCSI driver issue. Try switching to LSI before you do the upgrade. You do this by adding a second disk to the VM with id 1.1. Change the controller type for controller 1 to lsi. Let the vm boot and find the new devices. Now shutdown and change controller 0 to lsi. Try the upgrade again.

  • I already tried that, I get the same BSOD..

  • Are you upgrading from Windows or Booting from the Cd?
