unknown filesystem /dev/hdc
unknown filesystem /dev/fd0

set Priority: low	Severity:low

sorry Matt , We install the wrong guest(redhat desktop 4u8 ) ,the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4u8" is fine ,but it is also a bug .

Note from the error message that the guest OS has been detected as 'redhat-based', which we don't have any config for:

virt-v2v: No capability in config matches os='linux' name='virtio'
distro='redhat-based'

This seems to be an oversight in libguestfs's OS detection. I've moved this to to libguestfs and updated the title.

Huang, could you please let us know the contents of the file:

  /etc/redhat-release

from *inside* the guest?

From guest:
#cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Desktop release 4 (Nahant Update 8)
