I'm trying to convert an existing VMWare Server 2 guest (Vista 64) to KVM (on CentOS 5.5) in order to evaluate migrating to KVM. The KVM howto describes a very cryptic process that appears to assume familiarity with too many things. I have no idea where to even start with it. Googling around, I've found this blog with clearer instructions http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/convert-vmware-vmdk-to-kvm-qcow2-or-virtualbox-vdi/ However, it appears to be specifically for Ubuntu as the command kvm doesn't exist. I've tried adding a new guest using virtmanager specifying the converted qcow2 file as the image but on running, the guest console says it's not a bootable drive. In fact, when I tried just adding a new machine for a fresh install with a Windows ISO, I get the same problem, the guest is not bootable from the virtual CD or HDA. Please advise if there is any more relevant and detailed guide on doing this? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
