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.

Try ''-t ntfs-3g''. You can confirm this is the problem by doing ''df -T /mnt''. It will either say ntfs, which would be ro, or fuseblk, which would be rw. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
