Rh As 4

I used Transporter to move an existing VMWare (and working) disk image to Parallels format. At the point that Transporter prompts to make the image bootable, it failed and said the image was not a bootable image.

So I tried to create a fresh install guest OS. I created a new VM and fed it the Red Hat AS 4 disks. All went well until it tried to start the installed image up. It stalls when Red Hat says that they are "unpacking the kernal" right after startup. In other words, it doesn't get anywhere after powering up the VM.

The Parallels for Mac docs say that Red Hat ES and AS 4 are supported guest OSs. Anyone have any suggestions? The only other time I saw Transporter fail in this way was when I tried converting an VMWare FreeBSD image. The Parallels doc does not list that OS as supported.

thanks

Just to clarify, when I use Transporter, the VMWare is powered off. I try to migrate the disk image, not a running VMWare machine.
 
Hello dsampson55,
Here is an answer for your initial question:
Transporter can migrate and reconfigure for booting only Windows XP, 2000 and 2003 hosts and images at this moment. Our developers are 'teaching' Transporter to migrate Linux now. New Transporter will be available soon.
