Hi Ben,
Off-list as Antonio had the same message, but I would HIGHLY recommend CloneZilla; it would only back up the used portion of the drive unlike dd (which would save you a lot of time), and it hasn't failed me yet in 5 years. I recommend the "alternative-stable" release; it has more drivers.

(this is unrelated to the issue you fixed; clonezilla's image would also be missing the sata_nv driver)

Thanks!
Your reply in conjunction with a google search that found the below website and resolved this completely!
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/CreateNewInitrd
The final line being something like mkinitrd --with sata_nv initrd-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.img 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5

The only reason that I can think of that would cause this is an initrd that doesn't contain the driver for the whatever adapter the disk is attached to.
Boot the rescue image and identify the adapter module. When you've identified it, go back to the live system and make a new initrd using "--with <adapter_module>". Don't replace the existing initrd, just create a new one in /boot. If you then clone the disk, you should be able to boot the cloned disk to grub. Edit the kernel definition and change the path to the initrd, selecting the one you've created for the new system. It should boot properly, at which point you can replace the standard initrd path or fix grub's configuration file.
...and if you don't want to clone the system again, you can just boot the rescue environment, chroot to the sysimage, and make the initrd there. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
