The boot order from the BIOS or from the VM's settings is not properly set up.You are using a Btrfs filesystem with compression for /boot, for which Syslinux currently cannot boot from.

You either need to install or reinstall a bootloader.After it boots, open up a terminal and run: If you do not have a Fallback entry, press Tab (for Syslinux) or e (for GRUB) and rename it initramfs-linux-fallback.img.

To do that, you can start the VM using the Fallback entry. Now you need to regenerate your initramfs image. It most likely means that you did not run poweroff like you were instructed to, and closed the VM with the "close" button, which is the equivalent of a power outage.

# mv /etc/X11//10-monitor /etc/X11//10-monitor.bakīecause the hardware has changed, while you are still in the chroot, re-generate the initramfs image and do a proper shutdown:įinally, pull out the LiveCD (the ISO file), so that you do not boot back into it, and start the virtual machine. So it is recommended that you move/rename or delete the following: Having an nvidia, nouveau, radeon, intel, etc., entry in the Device section from one of the Xorg configuration files will prevent it from starting, since you will be using emulated hardware (including the video card). dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 Disable any Xorg-related files etc/fstab tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0 For now, /dev/sda1 for your entire system is just fine. You may use the UUID or label if you want, but those are more useful in multi-drive, multi-partition configurations (to avoid confusions). Since your entire root tree has been transferred to a single partition, edit the fstab file.

Do not forget to update its configuration file: the latest Arch Linux ISO) in the VM's virtual CD-ROM, then start the VM and chroot into it: $ VBoxManage convertfromraw -format VMDK /media/backup.img /media/backup.vmdkĬonnect the container to the VM, along with a Linux LiveCD (e.g. To convert into a VMware container, use virtualbox with the following command line: $ VBoxManage convertfromraw -format VDI /media/backup.img /media/backup.vdi To convert into a VirtualBox container, use virtualbox with the following command line: $ qemu-img convert -c -f raw -O qcow /media/backup.img /media/backup.qcow2 To convert into a KVM container, use qemu-desktop with the following command line:

If you are on Windows, install Ext2Fsd to be able to mount ext volumes.įrom the virtual machine, open a terminal and transfer the system: (Discuss in Talk:Moving an existing install into (or out of) a virtual machine) Reason: Ext2Fsd 0.66 does not support extended attributes and ACL.
