I have also tried to convert the VMs to vmware hardware 7 and it did not make a difference. I went as far as doing a straight copy of the HDD with ghost and I still have the same problems. Is there something I need to do on the OS before I start the copying? Like Show 0 Likes (0) Actions 3. Re: RHEL 4 machine converted fine
Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Thanks for posting this. I wanted to do this once or twice in the past, but never bothered to figure it out. I will be trying it soon... I have a Mondo linux boot mount error 6 Backup of a server that I want to move to less powerful hardware, and hopefully this will initrd ext3 do the trick.

Hello, Fabian. Sorry for the very late answer. You are right, this did the trick. However, there was a thing to add to make it work, we need to mount the /proc filesystem on the destination root directory for https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-April/036154.html the mkinitrd to work properly. Else, thank you very much for the help you provided! The quick fix is to simply copy the /boot/initrd-xx.img file from a working installated drive on the destination server to the old drive partition, and it will work (you must update the grub entry of course). However, if you don't have such a working hard drive, you will need to recompile this initrd file. Therefore I post the complete procedure below to move a hard disk drive with a working CentOS 4 system from one server to another one, not having the same SATA chips, or from a PATA to an SATA or vice/versa. If you don't do this, then you might receive this kind of error: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.8 starting mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed: 22 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Here is my procedure for those who would need it: 1. To recreate the initrd file, we will do it by booting from a successful boot partition on the destination server, like the CentOS live CD for example, or any other hard drive a hard drive which has been installed with the CentOS installer on the destination server. We will mount the destination (failing) boot filesystem to /mnt/boot, and also its associated destination root filesystem, with these commands: mkdir /mnt/boot mkdir /mnt/root mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/root 2.

It could be that the ext3 file system type is not compiled directly into your kernel and is compiled as a kernel module instead. Just an idea. I am always doing that
