RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #677286 +++

Description of problem:
convert rhel4u8 guest from esx to kvm (libvirt and rhevm) modprobe.conf is incorrect 
the network and storage driver are not virtio 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-0.6.3-5.el5

libguestfs-1.2.7-1.el5.8

libguestfs-*-1.2.7-1.el5.8

libvirt-0.8.2-15.el5_6.1

febootstrap-2.6-1.el5.2

hivex-1.2.2-1.el5.1

augeas-libs-0.7.3-1.el5.1

virtio-win-1.0.1-2.52454.el5

RHEVM ic91

rhevh-5.6-8.1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.# virt-v2v -ic esx://10.66.72.149/?no_verify=1 -op esx -n default ESX4.0-rhel4u8-32b

unknown filesystem /dev/hdc
unknown filesystem /dev/fd0
virt-v2v: No capability in config matches os='linux' name='virtio' distro='redhat-based'
virt-v2v: ESX4.0-rhel4u8-32b configured without virtio drivers

2.check the modprobe.conf
# cat /etc/modprobe.conf 
alias eth0 e1000 

  
Actual results:
alias eth0 e1000 


Expected results:
alias eth0 virtio
  

Additional info:
esx3.5 esx4.0 and esx4.1 all can reproduce this bug

if the guest is rhel4u9 ,everything is fine .

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 .

--- Additional comment from mbooth on 2011-02-14 06:12:09 EST ---

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?

--- Additional comment from yupzhang on 2011-03-07 22:07:13 EST ---

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

I see the problem.  Cloning this bug for upstream and 6.2.
Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-06-10 10:26:02 UTC 
This requires a small backport, along with the scheduled
rebase of virt-v2v so it uses the core inspection APIs.
Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-08-10 12:34:17 UTC 
The fix is included in libguestfs-1.7.17-23.el6.
Comment 4 Huang Wenlong 2011-08-23 06:20:33 UTC
