It's a kernel message and shouldn't stop it from booting, but if it does try adding edd=off on the kernel command line as suggested.

Is this how I would get to the kernel cmd line of the virt-p2v iso? Add edd=off to the first(!) kernel line inside the VM in /boot/grub/grub.conf ________________________________ From: Richard W.M.

This is a one-off change that you have to do each time you boot P2V. If you are making virt-p2v disks/ISOs then how to change this permanently depends on what method you're using. It may be better to look at the source code of the virt-p2v-make* scripts in the virt-p2v git repository. https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-p2v Does adding edd=off actually help? Does virt-p2v hang at boot? I wasn't clear on exactly what was happening.
