I noticed your earlier comment and question:
With hwinfo --all i can see all information about the hardware. Is it possible to find a command like hwinfo --reset-all ?
I can think of one situation that might prompt a question like this. Are these systems built using /exactly/ the same hardware? Or are they just somewhat similar, like a group of same brand but different model number PC's with new (identical make/model) drives added ? Please explain why you would want to "reset all" hardware? Along the same vein, after writing the Ghost image, are these systems booting normally or are they spitting out any errors? regards, Carl
