The error message is:

  installed kernel packages in this guest:
  virt-v2v: error: no installed kernel packages were found.

This is because no kernel packages are found in the guest, and indeed
I can see in the log:

  libguestfs: trace: v2v: inspect_list_applications2 "/dev/vg0/lv-root"
  libguestfs: trace: v2v: inspect_list_applications2 = <struct guestfs_application2_list(0)>

Since it's a own build, most probably libdb-utils was not installed
when configure was run, and thus libguestfs did not download and
inspect the content of the RPM DB in the guest.

See also http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-building.1.html for the list of
mandatory, and optional build & runtime dependencies.
