virt-p2v was able to convert my centOS 5.2 physical machine to xen virtual machine and it runs great. Now, I am working on to convert this full virt machine to para virt .

I think you're missing the xenblk driver. Try editing /etc/modprobe.conf to look like this:

alias eth0 xennet
alias scsi_hostadapter xenblk

and then

mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5xen.img 2.6.18-92.1.17.el5xen

jch

Thanks !. It worked....

Paras.
