VHD to VMDK with Linux LVM fails

I’ve been trying V2V Image Converter to convert a Linux (CentOS) from a VHD to VMDK.
It seems to be an issue with the LVM in the OS, the boot volume is correct converted but the LVM is not correct converted. It’s not recognized by CentOS so it wont boot.

It should not boot if you did not patch emulated hardware being different on Hyper-V and ESX.

Yes, you need to revert your OS to default hardware. There's a way to make Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 to re-query hardware. Don't know how it should be done on your Linux box.
