Robert,

I don't have a single link ready I'm using. Just try "vmware convert to
kvm" within e.g. Google. I'm using a combination of the guides from
Ubuntu, fedora, and some blogs and also some manual tweaking.
Basically it's uninstall VMware Tools, possibly apply a registry patch
for Windows - I just got blue screens without it - then convert the
disks and the configuration file.

If this is true I'm in serious trouble. I cannot connect to the VMware
consoles for these machines (some sort of key snafu), so I'm unable to
uninstall VMware Tools or do anything else inside a running Windows VM.

Any thoughts on how to overcome my console access problem? I'm unable to
connect via :8333.
which version of RHEL are you using? Are vmware-hostd processes running at all?

If you're on RHEL 5.4 or 5.5 you might want to take a look at this thread:
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/229957

If you're on RHEL 5.6 then undo the changes from the above mentioned thread. At least for me VMware server keeped segfaulting with those changes made. Undoing the change for LD_LIBRARY_PATH brought the VMs up again.

Again, this is just my experience. You can try to convert the machines and try to start them up. Maybe I just did something wrong or missed a step.

Kind Regards,
Dirk
