ok, i'm getting myself very confused and maybe some one can give me a sanity check.
i have a number of ES40's i'm putting sarge onto. i have it installed and working fairly well. now i'm trying to clone the disk image for the rest of the ES40's, this is what i'm trying: SystemA: good install of sarge onto /dev/sda, sda is 128M free space, 16G ext2 mounted on / , 2GB swap. to clone the disk i'm doing: init 1, swapoff -a, mount -n -o remount,ro / dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1024k the dd completes as expected, i can mount /dev/sdb2 and it looks ok. when i put the clone disk into systemB if fails to boot, it gets too aboot and aboot tries to load the kernel, with a number of normal looking aboot messages but it finally hangs at: aboot: starting kernel vmlinuz with args ro root=/dev/sda2 and hangs there. now if i go back to systemA and replace the good disk with the clone disk systemA boots fine. if i put the good disk into systemB it fails with the same error as the clone disk. so i'm assuming the cloneing process is ok. i must be missing something in SRM config or something. any sanity check would be greatly appreciated! -- michael
