Hi Kirk, Do you know if a new feature to change the disk controller used by the guest VM will be available in CloudStack soon ? e.g (for VMware): LSI Logic SAS Controller instead of LSI Logic Parallel

What disk controller did you configure on your uploaded template? CloudStack only uses lsilogic and will ignore any special configuration in the OVF of an uploaded OVA template, so make sure that any VMs to be imported to CloudStack use the lsilogic disk controller. This should be simple if you are creating the template yourself, but might be a problem if you are using a virtual appliance from a vendor. I saw someone recently who wanted to use a Juniper virtual appliance, but it was configured with the buslogic controller for some reason and wouldn't boot when deployed via CloudStack with lsilogic. In that case Juniper built a new version that used lsilogic, but some vendors might not be so helpful. Another possible problem would be if the uploaded template includes multiple VMDKs and needs them all to boot. CloudStack doesn't support OVAs with multiple VMDKs (or with ISOs) and it will only use one VMDK from the OVA. I'm not sure what else would cause the BSOD you're seeing. If the above doesn't help, share a screen shot of the BSOD or at least the error code since it may help narrow down the problem.
