grub.conf looks fine

The master system and the target systems use identical hardware.

I believe the hard-drives are identical too, although I've been able to 
spot some tiny differences on the labels - like, the last number of the 
device type is different (out of a long string of numbers). I am not 
certain if that difference means there are any real differences in the 
geometry. The disks look otherwise identical.
