I have a SLES 11 SP4 machine that is a VM on a Hyper-V server. I shutdown the VM and exported a copy to a different host for testing purposes of some software. On the new host, I have successfully imported the SLES VM, but when I turn it on I get disk errors such as: [CODE]fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-14253465420202020b55afof5d356d04b9e0aa3747286fdfe-part7 The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 /etc/init.d/kbd: line 42: locale: command not found /etc/init.d/kbd: line 234: find: command not found Can not find a keymap for us.map.gz, trying fallback. Loading keymap Loading /etc/defkeymap.map no /usr/sbin → Numlock off. Stop Unicode mode. fsck failed for at least one filesystem (not /) Please repair manually and reboot. The root file system is already mounted read-write. Attention: Only CONTROL-D will reboot the system in this maintenance mode. shutdown or reboot will not work.[/CODE] The original VM that I exported from runs and boots fine. Thoughts? Thanks ---

I assume the new host is also running Hyper-V? Which version(s) of Hyper-V are running en each host? What is different about the new host? Will the VM run if you import it back into the same host? Maybe there is an issue with the export on the original host (or the import on the new one)? – Kevin Boyle - Knowledge Partner If you find this post helpful and are logged into the web interface, please show your appreciation and click on the star below this post.

Thanks[/QUOTE] I’ve seen similar issues over the years with Hyper-V and SUSE. You can’t move from one system to another with dynamic MACs without some trouble. The way I fix this is to boot the moved system up to the point I can get command line, go edit /etc/fstab and get rid of every instance if UUID or disk-by-id mention. The issue is the UUID referenced is bogus on the new system. You need to change those to /dev/sda1 etc. That will get it to boot in my experience. FYI, its also prone to switch eth0 to eth1 when you do these types of moves…
