If the CPU changes then you need to make sure that everything on your system was built with a -march compatible with your new system. When you plan on migrating between systems it is a good idea to set -march very conservatively, such as -march=x86-64. It is safe to set -mtune to whatever you want, but -march produces code that only runs on that particular CPU. Of course if the new CPU supports EVERY instruction that the previous CPU has then you're fine, but you'd be surprised how many oddball instructions aren't on various CPUs. -- Rich

I was booting the whole time the Western Digital (old drive). :-/ My mistake, once I removed the WD drive the new M.2 SSD doesn't even boot. I think the easiest way would be to re-install the Getnoo from scratch and dig out the old programs I need from "attic". Mixing/moving SSD (sda) and M2.2 (nvme0n1) and transferring partitions might not be as easy.

I just copied the whole MBR to a new disk and it worked, the system boots, but nothing can be compiled. I would confirm that you are really booted from the new disk and not the old one. It is possible that the MBR from the new disk was used to boot, but if /etc/fstab says /boot is mounted from /dev/sda1 then that does seem wrong. I almost always put an empty file in the root of each partition named for the disk/partition just so I can be sure what's actually mounted. Is /etc/fstab identical on both disks? What does fstab say about where / is mounted from?

If you have cloned each partition from the old to the new disk, then the new disk should work exactly as the old disk does. I mean, it should have the same kernel, the same / filesystem, the same modules, etc. Since the new disk is an nvme drive, you will need additional drivers - should these not be available in the old kernel. > Duplicating was easy, but when I try to recompile a kernel I get an error: > > make menuconfig > HOSTCC script/kconfig/mconf.o > : internal compiler error: Illegal instruction > > Even if I try to run: emerge --info I get: > Illegal instruction > > In addition my fstab doesn't look correct (but it works) > /dev/sda1/bootext2 > > It should be something like: > /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot ext2 Do you have both disks connected to the MoBo when you're trying to boot from the new disk?

[gentoo-user] duplicate gentoo system - errors
OK, I used Gparted (Bootable usb) to copy partition from: Western Digital driver, usually: /dev/sda1 etc to M.2 SSD /dev/ nvme0n1p1 etc I can boot M.2 drive, but the x-server doesn't work (even though I use same graphical card). Network is not working (easy fix, new driver needs to be compiled IN) but there is a bigger problem. Duplicating was easy, but when I try to recompile a kernel I get an error: make menuconfig HOSTCC script/kconfig/mconf.o : internal compiler error: Illegal instruction Even if I try to run: emerge --info I get: Illegal instruction In addition my fstab doesn't look correct (but it works) /dev/sda1/bootext2 It should be something like: /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot ext2 -- Thelma

I clicked the Load Defaults button and it changed about everything. The old settings seemed to have left completely. Keep in mind, this install goes back YEARS. It may be well over a decade old as far as configs go. I copied /home over from my previous system. The new default is Hugin's CPfind. I've taken a few panoramic pictures and give it a go. At first, I did a couple control points manually for each set if pics. Then on the last two sets, I loaded the images and just hit Create Control Points and let 'er go. After clicking all the other things and telling it to stitch, they turned out awesome. I looked for errors in the picture but I couldn't find any. Since my pics were mostly of trees, I looked for trees that were bent or out of line in some way. I couldn't find anything wrong. Darn software does a awesome job. :-D Only downside, the resulting files are pretty large even when I scale them down a bit. Most image hosting sites cut off file sizes and mine are to big. Gotta find a solution for that problem, new image site maybe?? Thanks for the reply Meik. It got me to test some really new settings. Something I should have done a LONG time ago. Dale :-) :-)

Hmm, according to https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-fs/jmtpfs this package looks rather unmaintained, last changed in November 2013.

When keys have changed at the remote end and the new key is not listed in ~/.ssh/known_hosts, you will get a warning whether you want to accept the key and continue connecting or not.

Take a look in /etc/ssh and/or ~/.ssh/ for the config files to set preferences for ssh client and sshd server either generically or per remote host.
