SLES 12.5 on ESXi Migrated to HyperV - Grub Showed but no HDD Boot

Hello all, as many of you have faced, it’s time for us to Move away from ESXi and towards hyperV given the issues with Broadcom and licensing. I have migrated ALL of my VMs to HyperV and or Azure, and only have a SLES 12.5 Server left, but I am having issues. I have tried migrating the SLES 12.5 Server with the Starwind convertor (Which can literally migrate ANY vm to any other hypervisor, and has worked with every other machine I have) from ESXi to HyperV. Once migrated the Grub BOOT screen came up and then I am presented with this screen forever:

So I thought to myself, maybe something wend wrong with the conversion. So grabbed Acronis True image and imaged both of the Sles 12.5 HDDs (OS and DATA), then built a new HyperV VM. and imaged the virtual drives with the Acronis backups to the appropriate drives. The same scenario played out, and I was presented with the same screen above after grub boot.

In both scenarios Grub appears, I can choose the boot option, but then I get the message above. If I check the UUID’s with blkid, I can see the UUIDs for both drives, and they correctly match in fstab

Is there another way to check if the drives UUID truly is what’s being reported by blkid? Thanks in advance for any advice.

You’ll want to contact SUSE support or the SUSE forums at https://forums.rancher.com/ - these forums are for the openSUSE community project, not the SUSE commercial distributions.

The folks over there should be able to assist.
