Some of the machines I can P2V with out any issues but a majority of them fail withmount: error 6 mounting ext3mount: error 2 mounting noneswitchroot: mount failed: 22umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 (see pic for more details)So I get a 100% complete when I use the Converter but when I boot up the VM I get that error. I have followed the directions from http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1002402 but I still not having any luck. I made changes to /etc/fstab, /boot/grub/grub.conf, /boot/grub/device.map etc... I am also having issues with rebuilding the ramdisk. I ran the command with the existing version on the drive but I get an error about about no modules found. I have also found another article saying the version of TAR might be an issue so i've upgrade the version to 1.14-15 and re-ran converter and it still failing. Anyone have any ideas what is wrong? I am windows admin with some linux background so please go detailed on the linux commands. 8109Views Tags: none (add) This content has been marked as final. Show 7 replies 1.

Try boot into runlevel 1 editing the proper boot entry from grub (select the entry, press e to edit and add 1 at the end of the parameter line). Finally check /etc/fstab, it should be like the one attached. Instead edit grub, you can boot into rescue mode and then check the file. If you have still problems, please paste your /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst. /dev/rootvg/rootvol / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/rootvg/swapvol swap swap defaults 0 0 Select all Open in new window 0 Message Author Comment by:david-marti2009-08-04 Hi, thanks for your reply, but I'm unable to boot into runlevel 1.

Perhaps it helps a little more to see what is causing this boot error. Thanks. Imagen-1

[ author ] Hello, I currently have RHEL 4 running on a PE 1950 with a PERC 5/i card. The root partition is an LVM volume. I needed to install a new kernel, so I compiled 2.6.16 with the following options: * Device mapper support compiled into the kernel * megaraid_sas driver compiled into the kenrel * ext3 support compiled into the kernel * selinux disabled * grub looks good When I boot into the new kernel, I get this boot error: > > reading all physical volumes. this may take a while > > umount /sys failed: 16 > > file descriptor3 left open > > mount: error 6 mounting ext3 > > mount: error 2 mounting none > > switchroot: mount failed: 22 > > umount /initrd/dev failed: 22 > > kernel panic - not syncing > > attempting to kill init Any ideas?
