I have a this new AMD X2 4800+ x86_64 box that works great and runs centos 4.3 x86_64 like a champ.
I have 4 old machines running slackware, redhat 7.3 and redhat 9 and centos 4.3 i386. I would like to take the image of the disk (or something else equivalent) and run some kind of i386 emulation on the X2 box so I can run those old images when I need to and scrap the 4 old boxes.
Heat and noise be gone!
I have see Xen, qemu, user mode linux, bochs etc...
Have others tried to do something like I am trying, take images from older machines and run then on NEW iron? Are there suggested steps somewhere that I have not found?
I have tried qemu but I cant boot the image.
Just wondering if I am going about this is the right fashion?
Thanks,
Jerry
I used the VMWARE, and they have a migration tool. Does that work? You need X installed

The main issue with migrating RH/fedora machines is that you need the BusLogic driver included in your initrd image. Depending on how you make the copy you may also have to label your partitions to match the names in /etc/fstab or edit fstab to use partition names. You can fix the initrd after the copy if you boot the install CD in rescue mode just like you would in a real machine, chroot to /mnt/sysinstall, edit /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf (depending on the kernel version) to add: alias scsi_hostadapter BusLogic then run /sbin/mkinitrd with parameters to match your kernel and grub location.
