Error Importing CRM4.0 Organisation in CRM 2011...Why does it fail??...

Question

CRM 2011 Server and SQL Server 2008 R2 (running in same machine)...Installed CRM 2011 with Reporting extensions. When I try to import process the CRM 4.0 database through CRM 2011 Deployment Manager,it fails. I map all users and validation screen passes with warnings and without errors ...Why is it failing can someone point me into a right direction looking at the logs.

It doesn't take long before it fails...|I copied most frequent lines of the log before it failed...

Your help is much appreciated...
