Has anyone successfully cloned an Edubuntu install? I installed Edubuntu on a fast machine and then moved the disk to a slow machine to try it out. Unfortunately, the kernel doesn't even finish booting on the slow machine. It appears to panic and give an error (something like "VFS not found" embedded within a bunch of hex numbers). If I move the drive back to the fast machine everything works just fine, which suggests that the problem is not with the drive itself. I've cloned plenty of Linuxes (e.g. RH/FC, Debian/ Sarge, Knoppix) and this is the first time I've had an issue booting a cloned drive.
My questions are related to troubleshooting: 1) how can I save the kernel panic output to a file? 2) how can I boot up Edubuntu slowly? That is, does Edubuntu have something like Knoppix's "debug" or "expert" methods for booting? Although I'm using Edubuntu, the questions might apply to Ubuntu and Kubuntu as well.
