Description of problem: RHEL3 is in ELS(Extended Lifecycle Support) from October 31, 2010 to January 30, 2014", so we still need to support RHEL3.9 now. For RHEL3 guest,virt-v2v handle the block driver as IDE and netowrk driver be e1000 after conversion.The output messages when converting rhel3 guest is not so friendly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-v2v-0.8.6-1.el6.x86_64 libvirt-0.9.10-2.el6.x86_64 libguestfs-1.16.5-1.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use virt-v2v to convert a rhel3 guest # virt-v2v -ic qemu+ssh://10.66.72.122/system -os default -b breth0 kvm-rhel3.9-i386 root.72.122's password: root.72.122's password: RHEL-3.9-32.raw: 100% [===========================================================================================]D 0h02m04s virt-v2v: No capability in config matches os='linux' name='virtio' distro='rhel' major='3' minor='9' virt-v2v: No capability in config matches os='linux' name='cirrus' distro='rhel' major='3' minor='9' virt-v2v: WARNING: Display driver was updated to cirrus, but unable to install cirrus driver. X may not function correctly virt-v2v: WARNING: /boot/grub/device.map references unknown device /dev/fd0. This entry must be manually fixed after conversion. virt-v2v: kvm-rhel3.9-i386 configured without virtio drivers. Actual results: virt-v2v prints messages not so friendly: virt-v2v: No capability in config matches os='linux' name='virtio' distro='rhel' major='3' minor='9' virt-v2v: No capability in config matches os='linux' name='cirrus' distro='rhel' major='3' minor='9' Expected results: 1.virt-v2v should print some messages more friendly. 2.We should document the special handle of virt-v2v for rhel3 guest.

Virt-v2v needs to run on the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux release to ensure it can correctly read and modify new guest filesystem features. A new version of virt-v2v is now available for RHEL 7.1. Before RHEL 7.1 is released, follow the instructions here to install unsupported preview packages on top of RHEL 7.0: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-May/msg00090.html After RHEL 7.1 is released, virt-v2v will be available in Technical Preview. You can run virt-v2v in a single virtual machine. Other requirements are covered here: http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#resource-requirements If you find a missing feature or bug in the new version of virt-v2v please file a bug using the following link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux%207&component=libguestfs
