      Attempting migration of VM with two disks with 2 different OS installed (RHEL 9 and Fedora 40), trying to use the second HD as root device. 

      The migration plan ends up in failed status, from the pod logs:

      Dual- or multi-boot operating system detected.  Choose the root filesystem
      that contains the main operating system from the list below: 
      
      [1] /dev/fedora/root (Fedora Linux 40 (Server Edition)) 
      [2] /dev/rhel/root (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.3 (Plow))
      
      Enter a number between 1 and 2, or ‘exit’: virt-v2v-inspector: error: exception: End_of_file

      Full logs: vmware-host-20241030-1223-vm-56857-l8t58-virt-v2v.log

      When trying to migrate the same VM using first root disk, the migration fails as well with similar error: logs vmware-host-20241031-1301-vm-56857-kv5vv-virt-v2v.log
