Hi,
I am trying to covert a linux machine to vmware from hyper v. online convertor does not work as it has some strange issue with detecting the disks that the system uses.
I am instead trying to simply take the vhd and convert the disk to a vmdk file. i have created a place holder server and uploaded the disk to the esx host. i can start the machine an it connects to he network fine and all seems ok.
the problem occurs when i try to install the vmware tools (v9). I mount the cdrom, copy the files and run tar -xfz vm......... the file is then executed and the hosts gets a PSOD.
once i got the host back up i migrated the server and the host failed. I have attached the PSOD screens. any help appreciated.
