1 Hi,
2
3 since not too long I have a problem when cloning a Gentoo system
4 on to a machine with identical hardware.
5 I copy / /usr and /LOCAL to the new machine, edit several files in /etc
6 rebuilt the kernel and reinstall grub:0. Furthermore I have adapted the
7 fstab file in the initramfs.
8
9 On the very first boot the cloned system fails to mount all file systems
10 even /dev/pts which is a bit problematic when doing all this from
11 remote.
12
13 I get PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
14
15 Luckily I still can use the console on the remote system although I
16 don't
17 get a prompt.
18
19 Just doing
20 mount -a
21
22 and rebooting seems to fix the problem.
23
24 Still, I'm interested what's going there?
25
26 Many thanks for a hint,
27 Helmut.
