P2V Conversion on VMWARE - no logical volumes

[George Magklaras]

What does the output of pvscan give you and what's in /etc/fstab (now 
and originally prior to the move)? You do get issues with LVM using 
these sorts of tools and you might need to tweak a bit bootloader and 
device mapper settings to get things to work.
