I've got a slug which currently runs Debian Lenny quite happily from a memory stick. The stick is partitioned as follows:
/dev/sda1 Swap space /dev/sda2 / and that's it. I want to move the system to using an external HDD - one which I've used before with the same slug. I attached the drive and partitioned it in much the same way (although with a larger / partition). /dev/sdb1 is swap and /dev/sdb2 is the intended /. I did a mkswap on /dev/sdb1 and a mke2fs -j /dev/sdb2. I also created a third partition using up the rest of the space on the HDD which I flagged as being for LVM. I then mounted /dev/sdb2 as /mnt/target and did: # cd / # cp -ax . /mnt/target # cp /dev/MAKEDEV /mnt/target/dev # cd /mnt/target/dev # ./MAKEDEV generic I then shut down the slug, removed the memory stick and connected the HDD in its place. The trouble is the slug then won't boot. It goes through its fancy light display and then settles down with just "Ethernet" light pretty solidly on (it flickers occasionally). I know I'm going to kick myself when someone points out what I've forgotten to do, but... TIA, John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
