Converted .sv2i SBS2011 image does not boot

We use Symanatec System Recovery 2011 (latest updates installed) to backup a Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard (fully patched). The source server has 2 MBR hard disk volumes:

We wanted to do a P2V migration of this server to a VMWare ESXi 5.1 (build 1065491). We used VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client (5.1.0 Build 1087880) to directly convert the .sv2i backup image to the ESXi.

 

The conversion was successful however the new VM does not boot - simply a white cursor appears on the black console window - nothing more.

 

Any ideas what the problem could be?
