I don't think that kernel works outside Xen. Install a regular kernel for a VMware guest. You'll need to boot from a rescue disk if you don't have any other kernel installed in that VM. share|improve this answer answered Dec 30 '11 at 23:10 Gilles 370k686731122 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote Grub can not find this kernel This could be for several reasions. The name of the kernel is wrong (since this is a xen kernel this would not supprise me). Try editing the line in the grub boot loader and remove the "xen" from the end of it. Grub is looking in the wrong place on the file system for the kernel. Again there is a good chance that this was caused by the V2V, possibly changing the partition numbers. To fix this one try running the following at the grub prompt: grub > find /vmlinuz. This should display the something like the following. (hd0,0) Note that

I'll post as much info I can https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1517773 about my setup. I have 3 hard drives... one is for ubuntu (9.10), one is for my data, and one is for Windows7. It looks like this: 1st drive (hda) = ubuntu 2nd drive (hdb) = data 3rd drive (hdc) = windows I used to be able to dual boot no problem (via grub menu) until I updated to Ubuntu 9.10 awhile ago. Now I get the ever so popular "Error 13" message anytime I try to boot into Windows. I've tried everything with regards to tweaking my menu.lst file. The odd thing is, if I physically remove drives 1 & 2, my computer will boot into windows with no problem, which sort of tells me that I don't need to run any recovery on the windows drive. Anyhow, here's an output of relevant info. Any help would truly be appreciated. sudo fdisk -l Code: Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x76a6af7e Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 58336 468583888+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 58337 60801 19800112+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 58337 60801 19800081 82 Linux swap / Solaris WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'!
