Boot-fu; Win 2000 Data Center - VirtualBox to Physical migration - Dell Optiplex D03S ACPI+AHCI boot

[ruthan]

It seems that im "winner"  Non only Data center specific bug.

  There is even specific bug related to Intel 7 series of AHCI controllers, exactly one which i have:

%PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E02.DeviceDesc%=Intel_msahci_Inst,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E02
%PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E03.DeviceDesc%=Intel_msahci_Inst,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E03

You have to remove 2 lines for from inf file, because there semo Vista and later resources requested and not removed from inf for some reason..
 

Otherwise i found that i dont need F5 - select Standard PC machine type, but only F7 - to bypass ACPI.
