It isn't hard to migrate physical to virtual... but I wouldn't.  All you
really need off your old server is the database... in that case, I would
leave your old server untouched until your up and running 100% on your new
box.

1. On the new box, install the latest fedora and KVM or whatever you like.
2. Create a VM with a version of Fedora that shipped/supported 0.24.
3. Install muythtv, restore your 0.21 Database (may need to drop
mythconverg first).
4. start mythtv and it will update your DB schema.
5. backup the 0.24 version of your database and delete the VM and remove
KVM or whatever you used... you don't need it now.
6. install Mythtv 0.27 on the new server, restore you 0.24 DB to it and
start mythtv... good go to go!
