April 25, 20242 yr Good day all. I converted several ESXi VM's using Starwind V2V Converter. The conversions themselves completed without a hitch. I chose to convert using the .qcow2 format. I used one of the converted Ubuntu server 22.04 VM's to create a new UR VM. It will boot into the VM just fine but gets stuck at the network line and then will complete the bootup process. This is a clear sign that I will not have an assigned IP hence no internet or network access. I use the same VM network setup as I always have: br0 / rtl8139 in my case. I have tried all network combinations to no avail. Note: the actual ESXi VM used a static IP at the time of its creation. Your time and assistance will be greatly appreciated.

April 26, 20242 yr Author Thank you for getting back to me @SimonF. Much appreciated. I am almost certain that I have tried them all but have no issues doing that again. I will get back to you with my findings.
April 26, 20242 yr Author @SimonF So, I tried all of the Network Models: No luck. It hangs at "A start job .... continues to boot. I then log in with my credentials but still have no assigned ip or network / internet access. I was hoping not to have re-create the VM from scratch but it looks like I may not have a choice.
