This disk contains one or more filesystems, but we don't recognize any operating system. You can use these mount commands in virt-rescue (at the ><rescue> prompt) to mount these filesystems. # /dev/sda1 has type 'ext2' mount /dev/sda1 /sysroot So I tried ... ><rescue> mount /dev/sda1 /sysroot [<time>] EXT4-fs (sda1): mounting ext2 filesystem using the ext4 subsystem [<time>] EXT4-fs (sda1): bad geometry: block count 104388 exceeds size of device (103408 blocks) mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail I don't think the image is corrupt because a colleague is able to mount it with guestfish on a RHEL 6 box.
