virt-v2v is not an option for me as all I have are the VMDK images and
don't have the VMware software to covert to OVA first.
I really don't understand what is going wrong. I also found
https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/20511 and that still doesn't
work. Both /etc/fstab and grub.conf refer to the LABEL and not any
device name.
In the boot process I see it explicitly says it is loading virtio_blk before
the panic. So it is like that driver just doesn't see the disk. The
host machine is a CentOS 6 box. Is it possible the virtio in the libvirt
for CentOS/RHEL6 is not compatiable with the virtio_blk driver in
CentOS/RHEL5? Either that, or something else getting loaded is causing
interference?

I used qemu-img to convert it to a qcow2 image, loaded virt-manager and

swap partition.
In general, converting a disk image from one hypervisor to another is
not trivial, because of things such as missing drivers and different
hardware being presented to the guest. The virt-v2v project exists to
cover a lot of cases that you are probably overlooking in your manual
attempt; I'd recommend trying that approach:
