I will have to read this article. I've had mixed results with these
conversions using this as a guide:
http://ian.blenke.com/vmware/vmdk/xen/hvm/qemu/vmware_to_xen_hvm.html

It's seems like the systems I converted that had IDE drives work fine.
The machines that had/have scsi drives I could not get to boot up. These
were Windows 2000 Servers and they would get nearly to the end of the
boot and the CPU would go 100% and then not go any farther.
