I have Xen server(CentOS5) with several VM, they all installed on LVM with no partition.
----------------
xenserver# fdisk /dev/mapper/xen_vm.example.com

Disk /dev/mapper/xen_vm.example.com: 16.1 GB, 16106127360 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1958 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

Command (m for help)
-----------------
Now i have installed new big server with CentOS6 x64 and configured KVM there. I want to migrate all VMs from XEN server to KVM.
I tried mount lvm on xen and make rsync\dd on new lvm on KVM server, but all i get is in kvm vnc is "Booting from Hard Drive" and that is all. Is there anybody know how i can do this?
