I have a physical server running SUSE 9.2 (which I cannot upgrade), and I am attempting to move it to a virtual machine using VirtualBox. I have changed grub and fstab to reflect the new hard drive names (hda instead of sda). Has the architecture changed? 32 vs 64?
Nope, both are 32 bit.
Are you attempting to use the original physical disks, or are you using virtualized disks on the host?
I dd'd the original disk, then ran:
VBoxManage convertdd
I have the latest version installed and cannot find any such option to VBoxManage. There is a convertfromraw but that is the closest.
Yeah, they seem to change the tools periodically.
to produce a virtualized disk.
By the way, I'm using the open source version of VirtualBox on a Debian host. It's version 1.6.6.
We're a friendly list and won't hold that against you. :-)
I was hoping that would be the case!
I can get the virtual machine to boot into single user mode, but it freezes after a few minutes. Have a look at /var/log/boot.msg and /var/log/messages
Nothing gets written to /var/log/messages. boot.msg gets written, but I haven't seen any clues there. I'll look some more.
You are looking at the logs on the VM, right and not the host?
