I checked /var/log/messages and it looks like the problem was because
of a missing 'virtio-win' package in the F16 conversion server:

Apr  5 23:25:20 virt-p2v virt-v2v[9165]: FATAL: Installation failed
because the following file
s referenced in the configuration file are required, but missing:
/usr/share/virtio-win/driver
s/i386/Win2003
Apr  5 23:25:20 virt-p2v virt-v2v[9165]: FATAL: Died at
/usr/bin/virt-p2v-server line 394, <>
line 7.
Apr  5 23:25:20 virt-p2v virt-v2v[9165]: WARNING: Error messages were
written to /var/log/virt
-p2v-server.1333670581.log.
Apr  5 23:25:20 virt-p2v virt-v2v[9165]: p2v-server exited.

Should I install the virtio-win rpm from RHEL 6 into F16 or is there
any virtio-win package for Fedora somewhere?

Thanks,
