I can set up "rEFIt" (http://refit.sourceforge.net/ ) so that I can
have 3 different bootable partitions on the Mac, but haven't ever
considered if I could move a RedHat install from one computer to
another (potentially where the "master image" is on a Windows machine
and the target would then be a MacPro). Our RedHat installs are
currently so few and far between that we only ever do them from the
master .isos
Anybody ever try this?
Hmmm, I've done this a few times but it's not exactly supported...
As long as your partitions are ext3 rather than LVM (which is the RHEL5
default), you can Ghost the partitions to the destination machine
(requires Ghost 11 - and I've never Ghosted to a MacBook). You will
possibly need to:
1) boot from a rescue CD and run grub-install onto the /boot partition,
so rEFIt can pass onto grub to boot the OS. I doubt the fact that you
are ghosting the MBR will work.
2) edit /etc/sysconfig/network and change the HOSTNAME variable
3) delete /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
4) re-register the machine with RedHat network
5) run "/sbin/kudzu -q"
... possibly other things.
I've GhostCasted dual-boot images around a teaching lab before, but
never to anything which is EFI capable... that would be my first pick
for what won't work ;o)
