1、After centos6 is converted from xenserver7.6 to vmware, the cursor blinks in the upper left corner of the black screen. This problem needs to enter rescue mode and then modify the root=/dev/xxxx part of the grub file according to the comments, and then it can start normally.
2、I am not sure whether this solution is universal, I found it by observing the grub file of a virtual machine that started normally.
What tool did you use to do the conversion?
Do you have VMware tools installed?
CentOS6 is horrible outdated and needs out-of-tree drivers while any moden linux distribution has everything needed in the upstream kernel, the initrd of CentOS6 is also a possible problem, years ago Fedora wasn't even able to boot from a converted ext4 rootfs and after a dist-upgrade as Fedora swicthed to dracut it was no problem, you need to prepare the migratoon and the probem is that virtually nonody is still running CentOS6
theeasiest way would be setup a new verital machine and rsync the data, moved a complete company that way form Apple to Linux
I use VMware-converter-en-6.2.0-8466193
