to P2V a physical CentOS 5.3 server into a VMware vSphere 4.1 virtual environment. On completing the P2V, which took over four hours, I was presented with an "Error loading operating http://www.b4z.co.uk/tag/vmware-p2v-error-loading-operating-system system" message when powering on the virtual machine. I had initially assumed this was an issue that had occurred during the conversion, however some further investigated revealed this was not that case. When converting the machine from http://blog.schappy.de/archive/2008/09/24/red-hat-vmware-converter-esx-server/ a physical to virtual platform the boot partition location in the GRUB loader was no longer valid, as of course all hardware properties had now changed. To resolve the "Error loading operating system" message vmware converter the following steps were performed: 1. Download the latest version of CentOS, in my case this was CentOS 5.6 CD 1. 2. Upload the CentOS ISO to a datastore in your virtual environment and attached it to the converted virtual machines CD/DVD drive. 3. Power on the converted virtual machine and press ESC to show the VMware boot device selector. Select and press return on CD/DVD-ROM drive, this will now vmware converter linux load the attached CentOS ISO. 4. When CentOS loads, at the boot prompt type without quotations "linux rescue", and press return. 5. Select to mount all file systems in read-write mode and press return. 6. To re-install GRUB type the following without quotes and press return, "grub-install /dev/sda". 7. Once the installation has finished type "reboot" and press enter to restart the virtual machine. That's it, the GRUB loader should not be repaired and your virtual machine should successfully boot.

is still beta. Some words about the migration. Once you start the migration wizard, ensure the following "Source Data" options: "Select volumes and resize to save or add space". You must deselect the "Create separate disk for each volume" or you must update your mount configuration in a separate step at the end of the migration. PS.: I suffered from converting both vmdks in a single step, it failed at the beginning of the conversion of Disk1. Thus, I migrated Disk0 and created a separate pseudo VM only for conversion of Disk1. Afterwards, I was able to add an existing harddisk vmdk to the existing VM and remove the pseudo VM from Inventory (not from Disk!) However, if you are done with the conversion and you start the Red Hat VM you will receive a BIOS message stating "Error loading operating system". This is a result of a bad boot sector on the boot partion (s.th. about bad boot sections is also logged in the VMWare conver log of this migration). In this case, download a livecd of any linux distribution; I used this gentoo live cd. Mount the CD image by editing the VM hardware settings -> "CD/DVD Drive 1" and select for "Device Type" the option "Client Device". Then, ensure that you enter the BIOS the next time the VM starts by editing the VM options -> "Boot Options" and ensure you selected the only possible option for "Force BIOS Setup". After saving the settings you may select the proper disk image to be booted from. Now send the "Ctrl + Alt + Del" command to the VM (you must not restart the system, otherwise the CD image mapping will be removed). Now you should enter the BIOS settings, here change the boot order to use removal disks first. Save changes and exist the BIOS. You are booting the Live CD -- wait… Once you're in the live cd system check the partitions with fdisk -l. In my case /boot is located on /dev/sda1 , thus we'll mount this by mkdir /tmp/sda1 and mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/sda1 Now let's fix the boot sector by running grub grub-install -root-directory=/tmp/sda1 /dev/sda Unmount the device by umount /dev/sda1 and restart th
