Hello collective intelligence (REALLY? :) This is the short story: This has worked before. I've done it 9568705738563 times in real machines and VMWare machines. First time in VBox though... I got a computer and rsync(ed) everything to a filesystem in a VBox machine. GRUB(ed) it without problems as I've done countless times. Partitions match, and fstab matches, but we'll never get there anyway... The VBox machine, boots, GRUBs, and hangs on: Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel. My first take is an initrd problem, but why? More details: I created the filesystem with mke2fs in Kubuntu 8.10, while the machine I am copying from is a 2.6.9 kernel Red Hat (I'm no familiar with Red Hat) and E2fsprogs is 7 minors older (.35 to .41) Any ideas? I'm lost... :( Thanks! Enrique A.
