I recently backup a physical Fedora 9 and moved it to a virtual machine on VMware ESX 3.5 server. After the restore I get the following messages
unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol101)
Mount: could not find filesystem '/dev.root'
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such fule or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such fule or directory
Mount fialed for selinuxfs on /selinux: no such fule or directory switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Has anyone migrated a physical Linux server to ESX?
What steps am I missing to complete the process?
Any help would help.
Thanks

Maybe you have to recreate the initramfs after you clone it since the hardware is not the same.
Try to boot via live cd and chroot to the system to recreate initramfs.
