问题
I am trying to migrate VMWare image with Windows 2012 R2 to KVM. I was able to get to point where I:
- merged all parts of vmdk into one file
- removed VMWare tools fro image
converted vmdk to qcow2
qemu-img convert -o compat=0.10 -O qcow2 Windows2012-cl1.vmdk Windows2012-cl1.img- created new virtual machine in KVM
- added img drive to it
- booted VM in KVM
System was booting up but than it thrown an error "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart." I tried to repair the system but it said that system drive is read-only. Where could be the problem? I also tried to boot from Win2012R2 iso image to repair the system but it said that it cannot find system drive. Thank you for answers.
Host system: CentOS 6.5

It seems that this was problem of CentOS qemu old version. It seems that CentOS 7 has still quite old qemu but I did not give it a try. Instead I tried Ubuntu 14.04 and it seems it is working. So anyone trying to do something like me I recommend checking version of qemu.

Go to VmWares website and download their free converstion tool, use it to make OVF and OVA files, import them in the KVM virtual machine, you might need to use Virt-Tools, to move from OVF to KVM.
It looks like some of your data was comverted inproperly

Amazon WebServices and Google Cloud has API's with SDK Tools to send your machine directly to the cloud.
I have been tested AWS VM Import and it is amazing.
