Sorry for the user query but I'm not finding expertise on the Linux mailing lists I belong to. The web site says one-off user questions are OK. I have a few VM images on Parallels 8 for Mac. I want them to be on KVM/Linux. Some of the images are Linux, but the critical ones are a few types of Windows. I don't want to trash my licenses. I noticed that kvm-img has a parallels format option, and it seems to work while the conversion is going on. I've tried kvm-img to convert to qcow2 and to raw, both cases the image converts but the disk is not bootable. The only file the kvm-img doesn't immediately fail on is the one that contains the data. The best answer to my problem is to find out how to make the disk bootable. The next best answer is to find out if there is a reliable migration path, even if it means going to VMware first. Also, if VMware is a necessary intermediate point, it would help to know which VMware format to use for best results. I'm not a KVM expert, I've made some VMs on LVM and installed Linux on them with bridged networking, that's about the extent of it. For the record that was insanely simple.
