Hello,

Have cloned Linux drives in the past, but this is the first time I have seen this.

Grub initiates and the Os begins to load until it errors at...

......Could not find /dev/disk/by-id/scsi_SATA_WDC_WD400BB-23FWD-WMAj3002459-part3. Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/scsi_SATA_WDC_WD400BB-23FWD-WMAj3002459-part3? (Y/n) {selecting Yes restarts the above process and returns you to the above question, while selecting 'no' show the following} not found -- exiting to /bin/sh sh: no job control in this shell. <snip>

What is the best way to recover from this? The above request is looking for the source drive model which is slightly different that target, cloned drive.

Can this be fixed from the repair DVD/CD?

You need to boot into rescue mode and modify /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab and correct the settings there. You can find the correct id by: ls /dev/disk/by-id. That will show you the ones it knows about and you can hopefully tell which one is current. I'm guessing it tells you in dmesg too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Thanks James. I am going to try this. Best, ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
