OK, my thoughts and this may not be totally correct ... Linux uses LVM, there is a disk header that is not accessable in normal operation that holds LVM information for the disk, I suspect this is missing (for example, the informatin that makes the disk bootable). What documentation did you follow. I've never done this (restore linux physical to virtual) but I'm going to hazard a guess there is a bit more to it than just a restore.

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/bmr-physical-server-virtual-machine Did you use BMR ?

[iic22096]

yes

BMR Netback ver is 7.6

BMR Server   is Win2008  R2

Boot Server is RHEL 5.5 and client linux too

I can mapping network and partition successfully  but when ( boot) and ( / ) partition restore complete and reset vmware for boot I see error above

I think mapping drive isn't correct  but I don't know how to  discover or add drive

help me thanks

Have a look at these TNs:

Performing Physical to Virtual (P2V) restores using BMR
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH211500 

In NetBackup 7.6.0.x, P2V conversion jobs using Bare Metal Restore (BMR) may fail with Status 7 when the VMWare dataStore is incorrectly selected.
