CloneZilla - Kernel Panic!
Situation:
In the lab I have a Sun Ultra 20 w/250G SATA drive that I loaded with our latest linux build and have locked down the OS for IA/security purposes. I then imaged the drive using the latest Gparted_CloneZilla Live CD onto a USB HardTape drive (think it was a total of 30G's).
I then took one of my developement machines - Sun Ultra 40 M2 w/300G SAS drive - and restored the image I previously created using all the defaults for restoring. After the restore was complete, I rebooted the Ultra 40 only to get a kernel panic about how the system could not find all phsyical volumes for volume group VolGroup00- Volume Group "VolGroup00" not found.
I then loaded up the Ultra 40 with a Knoppix live cd and mounted the SAS drive. All the partitions and files where there even the /boot directory. I scanned over the grub.conf file and it is pointing to (hd0,0) and so is root.
In the past I've successfully imaged / restored from identical systems, but is it possible to go from one system version (Ultra 20) to a newer one (Ultra 40) ??? Thanks for any help. I'd hate to spend another 8 days locking down / imaging another box if I have an 'image' that is already done. Thanks...
