hi

howto migrate debian into other hardware ?
I've tried to create an image using symantec ghost and setup on the other hardware, but I'm getting a lot of hardware problems.

other solution shoud be using debian Live-CD:

http://live.debian.net/cdimage/etch-...t/i386/iso-cd/

but don't know howto chroot an existing installation into the new system.

Your best option is: don't... Just install Debian from the netinstall-cd directly on this hardware. That way the installer correctly identifies the hardware and configures it accordingly.

my problem is, I don't want to install a fresh system und I'm looking for other solution.

You can simply copy all files - so, pretending everything is on a single partition:

prepare the blank drive (sdb?)
mkdir /mnt/target
mkdir /mnt/orig
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/orig (assuming this is your installed one)
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/target (the copy to make)
cp -a /mnt/orig/* /mnt/target/.

Then make up a config file to install the bootloader to 'sdb'; lilo and grub work slightly differently - for example, when installing GRUB I usually unmount the device with the /boot directory first while with lilo the device with /boot must be mounted.

Of course if your hardware is all different, you will still need to do some setup when you boot the other machines.

Good luck on getting it done!

partimage.org is the best solution ; i use it always

and i migrate my debian lenny without any problem

could you pls give some more details about your migration ?
