Dear List,

I have duplicated my hard disk using "dd", including the boot partition to another hard disk (a sata drive in a usb box). Now I am trying to boot from this duplicated disk, but nothing happens.. grub does not start at all.

Hi Sampsa using dd for copying a harddisk assumes source and target are the same, which I am guessing yours are not. You might fare better by copying across the contents of the filesystem(s), e.g. using rsync, and (re-)preparing the target drive for booting. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
