I think it's clear we need some way to extract debug info from the P2V boot image. Right now P2V simply reboots immediately on completion, whether successful or not. There are 2 situations we need to cover:
1. P2V client doesn't launch (including boot failure) 2. P2V client fails.
The main problem, of course, is where to put it...
We had pretty much the same problem with the old virt-p2v too. That used to save a log file into /tmp (on the ramdisk), and gave users a shell on one of the virtual consoles (Alt + F2 etc) so that users could switch to that shell and scp the debug file elsewhere. It wasn't exactly an ideal solution. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
