Did you copy /dev/null and /dev/console to the new machine. These
need to
exist on the root partition as they are needed before udev starts.
Thanks Neil,
what do you mean by copy?
When cloning, I transfer a tarball of the root and usr partition.
Doesn't that suffice?
The only thing which comes to my mind now is that the tarball was
created from
a live root partition.
