    That is because the Converter does not recognize the kernel of CentOS 8.
    https://docs.vmware.com/en/vCenter-Converter-Standalone/6.4/rn/vmware-vcenter-converter-standalone-64-release-notes/index.html#What's%20in%20the%20Release%20Notes-Supported%20Guest%20Operating%20Systems
    Currently Converter 6.4 does not support CentOS 8.
