If so, key .dll files get replaced. Not to mention 2 very confused p2v agents. Be sure that you have not installed converter, workstation, server onto the same machine as VirtualCenter.

After attempting to use a Ghost image I got the same unmountable partition problem. We found a link from Novell explaining how to use the rescue cd but the process seemed involved and unclear. In my case the p2v was actually out of scope for the project so the customer decided to manually build and migrate a later time. Booting from the currently installed OS and using Yast seems to be the best option for future p2v migrations. Thanks!
