    Migrating Debian from ESXi to QEMU

    thank you for the clearification, but on my harddisk (/dev/sda) there is only one partition (/dev/sda1) and /dev/sda1 does not contain a linux installation. It only contains the following files and directories: the linux installation might be inside the squash files hs_main.sqs or...

    Migrating Debian from ESXi to QEMU

    In the /boot0 directory I found 2 large sqs-files (37M and 82M). Google tells me that these can be mounted to a squash filesystem? So how do I do the whole chroot-thing with that?

    Migrating Debian from ESXi to QEMU

    I hope I did it right this time, but the command "dpkg" is not recognised: It is a knx home automation server. So I do this privately. The power consumption of the ESXi-Server (24/7) is too high, so I try to switch to a cheap virtual kvm-based System which does not provide nested...

    Migrating Debian from ESXi to QEMU

    Basically the same result as above... As I mentioned before it is a preinstalled vmware appliance that I converted to q2emu format, so I can't do a reinstall. On vmware it just boots up to a black screen with some information on it. There is no shell access or anything like that.

    Migrating Debian from ESXi to QEMU

    Hello, I have a VMWare ESXi 6.7 server on which I run a virtual appliance (based on Debian 9.8). I do not have any user account or root access to this machine, it just offers some networking service. What I would like to do is migrate this vm from ESXi to QEMU, so I transformed the VMDK-Disk to...
