History: I have a running machine, I booted it up with KNOPPIX, grabbed another hardware-wise fairly current "empty" machine, booted it up with the same KNOPPIX, rsync(ed) [-aH --super] one HD to the other, ran GRUB, root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) and I got a perfect clone running. So far so good...
I did this as I have done it 7368269 and-a-half times before for the last few years... Soooo... Then I spawned another machine the same way and configured them to act as server and a client. They have worked fine and they work. Then I need to duplicate this 2 machines. Well, easy, I've done it millions of times, haven't I?. Not this time... One machine hangs on: GRUB Loading stage1.5(GARBAGE-GARBAGE-GARBAGE) The other one just scrolls the screen endlessly... :( I have tried every trick I know, I checked the partitions boot flag, I md5sum(ed) the files and they are not corrupted, GRUB doesn't give me otherwise any errors, and I am at the end of my rope... FWIW, I saw something like this before and I fixed it with a newer copy of GRUB, but being this an old RedHat in really OLD hardware, I'm getting me this time and OLDER copy of GRUB. Ideas? Thanks!
