Hi,
I spent about 5 hours last night trying to clone a hard drive from a working LL2.8 system and wanted to put the cloned drive in a 2nd machine. I tried a whole bunch of things like clonezilla, unetbootin, command line using sudo dd, but I couldn't seem to get anything that would boot properly. The drive I am cloning works fine both in the 1st computer and also in the 2nd machine. I had a backup I did on the working drive with SystemBack and since I wasn't getting anywhere I thought I'd try installing the system using that. After doing that, I do bootup from that drive I installed the system on but it spits me out at an initramfs prompt, it says the UUID doesn't exsit. I guess the UUID from the first drive is still there and not the new drive's one. Can this install be salvaged at all ?
If you have any ideas or suggestions for me to try please let me know as I am at a loss at what to do next.
Thanks,
