Hi,

since not too long I have a problem when cloning a Gentoo system
on to a machine with identical hardware.
I copy / /usr and /LOCAL to the new machine, edit several files in /etc
rebuilt the kernel and reinstall grub:0. Furthermore I have adapted the
fstab file in the initramfs.

On the very first boot the cloned system fails to mount all file systems
even /dev/pts which is a bit problematic when doing all this from remote.

I get PTY allocation request failed on channel 0

Luckily I still can use the console on the remote system although I don't
get a prompt.

Just doing
mount -a

and rebooting seems to fix the problem.

Still, I'm interested what's going there?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.
