Hi Peter.

I am trying to migrate windows server 2008 R2.

No, the generic SATA controller didn't work.

When booting it gives you the BSOD with the 7B error code, which is boot 
drive inaccessible.

To migrate the machine I needed to boot the machine with VirtualBox with 
an IDE controller for the boot disk and an extra sata disk.  That seems 
to get the right SATA drivers installed. Then I can use KVM to boot it 
as a SATA disk.

thanks,

Geoff
