[sdnog] Kernel panic issue

[Daniel Shaw]

Hi Ali,

As per Philip, we really need more info to help you definitively. Especially what is shown on the screen prior to that last line.

However, I'll make a guess. (I could be completely wrong).

My guess is that after the conversion, in vmware, the root disk/filesystem device name is different, and you may thus need to update the grub2 bootloader to pass the correct /dev/{$disk-name} to the kernel. And/or perhaps update your /etc/fstab in the OS.

If this *is* indeed the issue, you can achieve both these things by attaching a CentOS 6.x boot ISO to the vmware virtual CD for the VM, and booting into rescue mode.

That should give you a minimal shell and the filesystem mounted, and you can then edit the grub config and/or fstab files.

Regards,
Daniel
