|
| There are several possible issues for you to deal with
|
| - does your version of kvm support vmware disk images (newer qemu, and
| therefore kvm, does; older doesn't)
|
| - if it does, does it support the version vmware disk image you have?
|
| - kvm and vmware emulate different hardware. Do you have the right HAL,
| drivers, etc in your Windows VMWare image for the kvm hardware platform?
|
|
| For the first two, vmware-vdiskmanager (from VMWare) and qemu-img (from
| QEMU) may help. For the last one, good luck! ;-)
|
|
| later,
