Hello,
I've got a box that has died. The data on it is rather important and a
reinstall is not feasible. I put the hard drive in a test box, mounted all
the partitions of the previous drive under /mnt then did a chroot /mnt and
compiled a generic kernel. The processor on this board is different so i
felt i had to. The compilation and installation of the chrooted kernel went
fine, putting the drive in the new system yields an unbootable drive. I've
checked the data and kernel are there. Any ideas why this procedure didn't
give me a bootable drive?
Thanks.
Dave.
