Hi all,

When my computer boots heartbeat does not start automatically for some reason. 
I try to start it manually and here's what happens:

16:16:42 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]> ps -A | grep heart
16:16:49 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]> /etc/init.d/heartbeat start
Starting High-Availability serviceslogd is already running

16:16:59 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]> ps -A | grep heart         
16:17:06 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]> /etc/init.d/heartbeat status
Checking for High-Availability services                               dead
16:51:18 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]> 

(the time difference above is not how long it took to give me an answer, I just 
came back later with that command)


Which is pretty much "nothing happens". I am running SUSE 10.2. What makes this 
a bit different than the usual setup is how I installed this machine. I made a 
tarball from another machine, tar-ing "everything". I'll skip the details (if 
there's anything you think it's important ask me and I'll explain it) but I 
used this tarball on another machine to set up the drive. Again, this is super 
high-level and superficial explanation but after having taken care of a whole 
bunch of detail, it works. I can boot my Linux, start X, do everything I want 
except start heartbeat.

Interestingly, if I use the tarball to restore the machine I created it from 
(unpack it on another partition and boot off of this new partition - again 
details related to the boot loader and other such are skipped here), it works 
just fine. It seems it's only when I use the tarball on another machine. To 
make everything else work I had to deal with files that contain host-specific 
info, such as mac addresses. I wonder if HA has any such files I need to handle 
separately.


Any (other) ideas?

Thanks!
