[PVE-User] Migration VM from VMWare 5 (.vmdk) to Proxmox

[Edgardo Ghibaudo]

Hi Emmanuel,
In VMware5, the RHEL4 guest has no VMware guest extension.
I tried different SCSI controllers (VMware PVSCSI, MegaRAID SAS 
8708EM2), but the VM always crash (kernel panic) with the same message

Thank you,
Edgardo
