Hi all,
I'm trying to replicate a Debian server, so I
1. did a minimal Debian install on the new server, using a different
IP address, then
2. used rsync to copy /etc /opt /home /usr /lib /bin /sbin /var to
new server, then
3. rebooted to see how clever I had been.
But because the hardware is so different, the network interfaces on
the new server are not recognised.
Is there a file (or files) that I shouldn't have copied forward?
Can I go though all or part of the Debian installation again to fix
the NICs?
i.e. what should I do different next time?
gc
I recently upgraded my mobo and cpu and all I had to do was edit
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
to put a # in front of the old network card line (eth0 for me) - you
could delete the line I suppose.
The new network card was then detected at next reboot and became the new
eth0
HTH
