[fedora-virt] virt-v2v: "Didn't find a grub entry for kernel version ..."

[Ask Bjørn Hansen]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to convert a CentOS (5.5) xen virtual machine to a KVM based one.   I exported the XML, copied it and the device data (LVM partitions on both boxes); adjusted the disk device path and the name of the bridge in the XML and then ran:

virt-v2v -f /etc/virt-v2v.conf  -i libvirtxml  mongo1.xml

My virt-v2v.conf is below.

The command exits with "virt-v2v: Didn't find a grub entry for kernel version 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5" -- how do I fix that?

The virt-v2v version is 0.4.0-1.
