I am trying to follow this guide to virtualize my raspberrypi http://kb.sp.parallels.com/it/6880 result is a file called resultingimage.hdd (8gb) when I try to use it as vm HDD it say that it is not valid, want to convert? I reply yes... but nothing change... any idea as to convert it? thnak
What changes do you expect? AFAIK it will convert resultingimage.hdd to directory resultingimage.hdd, contained resultingimage.hdd(empty file), resultingimage.hdd.0.{5fbaabe3-6958-40ff-92a7-860e329aab41}.hds(actual plain disk image); DiskDescriptor.xml(virtual disk descrition). Then you can attach these hdd bundle to any VM as virtual HDD. Note that this image must a valid MBR with loader to be able to boot from.
Could you genarate problem a report data at the moment when it couldn't boot and share its ID here? Thank you.
At first I would suggest to change virtual HDD from SATA to IDE and remove all devices except virtual HDD. Does this image work on a bare hardware? What bootloader is used there? Looks like there is no bootloader.
ok done. nothing change. yes on my raspberry it boot ok. I don't know the bootloader version: I install Debian Wheezy Raspbian how can I discover the information you need for help me? can be also wrong command to obtain the image? dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/media/USB1/ResultingImage.hdd bs=65536
"yes on my raspberry it boot ok." Do you mean raspberry board? This file 'kernel.img' resides on the first partition of an Raspbian image downloaded from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ and this is 'file' command output: file kernel.img kernel.img: Linux kernel ARM boot executable zImage (little-endian) Also raspberry is an ARM project. So, parallels won't help you there. You need an ARM emulator. Sorry.
