I am running trixbox 2.8 (centos5.4-final) on vmware server 2 and want to upload to my linode server, i have followed this guide

http://library.linode.com/advanced/custom-distro-howto

and reach to the point where run dd command to transfer vmdk image to /dev/xvdb, but after that i couldn't mount the disk under finnix.

Any guru can help in this regards here.

Thanks in advance..

Did you transfer the vmdk to /dev/xvdb from the host running VMware? That will not be mountable. You need to transfer an image of the filesystem(s) from inside the VM.
