tar. dump. cpio.
Honestly, you don't need ghost for migrating linux partitions.
just boot single, mount your target onto /target, umount your removable
media (and any filesystems you're not moving), and (as root, using bash):
for i in `awk '/$\// { if ( $2 ~ /^\// ) print $2 }' /etc/fstab`; do
echo "copying $i..."
tar clf - -C $i | tar xpf - -C /target$i
done
(this is basically an automated version of how I migrate my linux systems
from drive to drive by hand)
Once that's finished, you just need to reinstall your bootloader onto the
new drive and you're set and ready to go.
