[libvirt-users] converted VMDK disk iamge and Virtio driver

I have a CentOS 5 VM in vmware I wanted to move to work on KVM/libvirt. I used qemu-img to convert it to a qcow2 image, loaded virt-manager and created a new VM pointed at that qcow2 image. The boot paniced when it tried to mount the root filesystem also complaining about not being able to remount the swap partition. I played around and was able to get it to boot by changing the Virtual disk bus to IDE from Virtio. Searched about Virtio and I got to http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio and ran the mkinitrd mentioned to force loading of the virtio_pci and virtio_blk drivers. But upon shutting down, configuring the bus back to Virtio and booting it panics in the exact same way. I tried again after adding virtio_blk into /etc/modprobe.conf as scsi_hostadapter and rerunning mkinitrd but it still fails. Any clues what I am missing? --------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Raines http://help.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A.
