So I've been converting Windows VMWare VM's to xen domU's using this site as a guide: http://ian.blenke.com/vmware/vmdk/xen/hvm/qemu/vmware_to_xen_hvm.html.

I even took a MS VM, converted to VMWare, then to a domU and it worked.

I have one PCI Device that is not being found on all the machines I've done

Q1) I assume since these are full virtualization that I need the drivers for the specific hardware?

I also had my first failed conversion. It fails in the steps replacing the HAL version. When I mount the img file like: mount -o loop,offset=$((63*512)),rw server.img /mnt

I can view the file system, but when I try to put the right HAL.dll in place I get: cp: cannot remove `/mnt/WINNT/system32/hal.dll': Read-only file system

Q2) Any ideas why this file system is Read-only? This is the same procedure I've done on all my conversions. First 4 of them worked fine.

Any help is appreciated.
