        @JaredBusch I'm assuming you already found this, but if not.

        https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Converter-Standalone-Discussions/RHEL-4-machine-converted-fine-but-get-kernel-panic-when-I-start/m-p/2148049

        From Marcus

        Boot into the RHEL4 rescue environment
        chroot /mnt/sysimage
        Edit /etc/modprobe.conf and change the scsi_hostadapter entries to look like this:

        alias scsi_hostadapter mptbase
        alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptscsi
        alias scsi_hostadapter2 mptfc
        alias scsi_hostadapter3 mptspi
        alias scsi_hostadapter4 mptsas
        alias scsi_hostadapter5 mptscsih

        cd /boot
        move the current initrd images to another folder or rename them to .old
        run mkinitrd (example: mkinitrd -v -f initrd-2.6.9.-11.EL.img 2.6.9.-11.EL)
        Repeat the above step for each kernel (in case you ever decide to boot into them later)
        Exit the chroot environment
        Try booting the VM

          @DustinB3403 if I did, I did not read far enough down.

          Now I just need a way to get to rhel4 recovery mode.

            so this... any ideas how to go forward? Google and I are not getting along good enough to find an answer apparently.
            889c397e-14d7-4c4f-9a42-d526d1c99f28-image.png

            I often see kernel panic when trying to put an an old image on a new virtualization platform or moving images from one virtual to another virtual platform. I don't know if it's because they remove driver support for old hardware when they compile the kernel or what.

            I get around it by using virtualbox instead which seems to have infinitely better support for legacy systems. But my use case has often been to spin up an old image backup and see how it works or look for something. Not run it like it is in a production environment.

            Another option is to find old server hardware from the same era and just run it there. And then throw it all away when you're done with whatever it is you are doing. It just have to be really worth the trouble of dealing with old stuff and usually it's not, but there are always exceptions.

            It was not a Xeon, but I did try a physical restore also. With the same result.

                So the customer asked me to spec out a replacement server.

                This is what I am thinking to recommend.

                Dell PowerEdge R6515 – Chassis with 8x 2.5” drives
                AMD EPYC 7262 or 7302P 
                1x 16gb RDIMM 3200MT
                PERC H730P
                3x 480GB SSD SATA Mix Use Hot plug
                Dual hot plug power supply
                Riser Config 1 1x16LP PCIe slot
                iDRAC 9 Express
                BOSS controller card with 2 M.2 240GB RAID 1
                

                CCB came back with this.

                  New servers arrived today.

                  My office is warmer now.

                        Proxmox or raw KVM on Fedora if Proxmox gets too annoying.

                                Like only being able to do some things if ZFS is used.
