I decided to follow the path you suggested as it seemed the simplest and easiest for me to do. Here's what I did in case if anyone is trying to resolve a similar issue: 0. Copy /boot and / partition data from the old drive to the new one 1. Run "blkid" to get patition UUIDs of old and new drives 2. Edit /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.cfg and replace old partiion UUIDs with the respective new ones. What it did for me was that the system would now drop into the grub CLI -- which is a lot nicer -- instead of grub rescue CLI. 3. Run the following in the grub CLI grub> set prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/grub grub> insmod normal grub> insmod linux grub> linux (hd0,msdos1)/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 root=/dev/sda2 grub> initrd (hd0,msdos1)/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64 grub> boot 4. The system now boots and is working 5. # grub-install /dev/sda 6. # update-grub 7. Reboot the system, the system reboots and comes back just fine. There is one small issue that I'm not sure what to attribute to. The grub selection menu that's shown when the system boots now has different colors and kind of shifted to the left of the screen so a small part of it is cut of. Different resolution perhaps? It would be nice to fix it. Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
