I’m trying to import an existing CentOS VM from a VMware environment to run on Digitalocean vis their custom images option. I’m able to successfully run the VMDK in both VMware Workstation and VirtualBox. I’ve tried using the VMDK itself, and cloning the VMDK from VirtualBox to a VDI format, and uploading these to DigitalOcean and restoring. The restoration succeeds, but during boot, the below error occurs.:

Kernel alive kernel direct mapping tables up to 120000000 @ 10000-16000The only changes the VM went through between working on a desktop hypervisor and booting in DigitalOcean was the compressing of the VMDK/VDI file to gzip to make the upload more efficient. Would this be the cause, or is it more likely that the infrastructure differences between a desktop hypervisor and DigitalOcean’s infrastructure was enough to shake-up the volume names?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
