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?
