I haven't tried it, but:
"NOTE: Experimental support only is available for Linux-based physical
to virtual machine conversions using the Vmware Converter BootCD (cold
cloning) if the source physical machine has SCSI disks."
--http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/faqs.html
That requires VMware Converter Enterprise, BTW.
Haven't yet been put in a situation where we've needed to migrate
physical Linux machines to VMs. Unless VMware Converter's support
becomes something more than "experimental", I imagine we'd kickstart
new VM and "migrate" that way.
