Converting to a VMware Virtual Machine
I have a SLES 10 SP2 64-bit system that was set up as a stand alone server. Now I'm running VMware Server 2 (hosted by Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 server), and I am trying to boot the OS as a virtual machine. The disk is presented to it as being attached to either an "LSI Logic" controller, "LSI Logic SAS" controller, or "VMware Accelerated SCSI" controller, but the virtual machine doesn't see any disk at all when booting no matter what I choose. Apparently BusLogic fell off the list of options at some point.
I assume it's just a matter of having the driver loaded when trying to access the boot device. What do I have to do to fix the kernel or boot image, aside from having to compile my own kernel? If I boot from DVD, it can see the disks just fine.
