Restore extremely slow - hdc: lost interrupt

I'm trying to virtualize to vmware an old Fedora 4 server. I created the
ISO backup. It has a size of 2 GB. I uploaded the iso file to vmware
vsphere 6.5 but the boot proccess takes lilterally hours. What I can see is
the slowness is due to something related to "hdc: lost interrupt". Please
look at this: http://prntscr.com/pma1d1

I have to wait some 4-6 hours until the boot process fiinishes. I only can
take screen captures, I can't copy and paste the log messages of
mondo-archive.log.

I was consulting the P2V PDF document. I have this:

zcat /boot/initrd-2.6.17-1.2142_FC4.img  | cpio -itv|grep mpt
5339 blocks
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        67136 Apr 27  2007 lib/mptbase.ko
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        21724 Apr 27  2007 lib/mptspi.ko
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        27808 Apr 27  2007 lib/mptscsih.ko

And also, in /usr/sbin/mindi I included:

FORCE_MODS="mptsas mptspi"

I'm using:

mondoarchive -l GRUB -Oi -s 9999m -S $SCRATCH -T $TMP -d $ISO -E
"/var/cache/yum/updates-released /usr/src etcetera" -I "/"

The server has this disk:

df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             9.5G  7.4G  1.7G  82% /
/dev/sda1              99M   27M   68M  29% /boot
/dev/sda4             122G  115G  7.0G  95% /home

Output of uname -a:

 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4 #1 Tue Jul 11 22:41:14 EDT 2006 i686 athlon i386
GNU/Linux

In vmware I tried using a SCSI controller and also a SATA controller, and
the hard disk as SCSI or IDE, but always I get the hdc: lost interrupt
message that causes that slowness, and also: ide-cd: cmd 0x1e timed out,
and also: hdc: DMA interrupt recovery, but mainly: hdc: lost interrupt.
Those messages are not registered in mondo-archive.log, only a Hi there
message at this moment (the boot process hasn't finished yet).

Thank you,

Pablo Chamorro
