Hi Emmanuel,
In VMware5, the RHEL4 guest has no VMware guest extension.
I tried different SCSI controllers (VMware PVSCSI, MegaRAID SAS
8708EM2), but the VM always crash (kernel panic) with the same message
Thank you,
Edgardo
Hi again
As Alessandro said this is probably a mismatch of the root device.
Do you have your old VM running on VmWare ?
If yes please note there the value of the root device in /proc/cmdline
it should be something like root=/dev/mapper/susa--vg-root
this /dev/ something should be a path to your root file system and
should appear when you do
ls -l /dev/mapper/susa--vg-root
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar 31 09:31 /dev/mapper/susa--vg-root -> ../dm-0
Now when running the VM in Proxmox, after the error you see, you should
be dropped to a rescue shell
in this rescue shell, check if the same 'ls -l' command return something
if 'ls' returns nothing,
tries the command vgchange -ay
and try 'ls -l ' again
if ls still fails, please run ls -l /dev/*da in the rescue shell and
post the output here
BTW, it would be nice if you post your findings in the bottom of the
previous mails ( see https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting to know
why )

Hello Emmanuel,
In the old VM running in VMware5 the /proc/cmdline is *ro root=/dev/sda1
rhgb quiet console=tty0*
When I try to start using Knoppix7 ... I see the file system, but /dev
is EMPTY
When I try to start using RHEL4 rescue, I receive the following message:
It has not found any fixed disk. It is probably that the device
drivers must be selected manually to proceed with the installation
Thank you, Edgardo
