Hello, I am currently running woody (debian). I have a couple of other machines on which I would like to have the same setup. I plugged the hard disk of another machine to the machine running woody and used rsync -aH to copy all the directories. Everything appears to be normal (permissions, etc). There was a problem in the copied dev directory (wrong major and minor numbers). Just ran MAKDEV again in that directory and everything was fine. Again lilo complains about invalid /dev/hda1 (dos partition). But it can be mounted. So, I just commented out and ran lilo. No complaints now. But while booting it just stops and says,
Kernel panic: I can't find a root and I want to scream. Everything is there. Checked the /etc/fstab and all other places. Everything seems (to me) proper. What would be the best way to copy an existing installation on to a new hard disk? I tried searching the archives and could not find any thing to help. If this has been already answered, can some kind sould point me to proper place.
