| Post subject: | HOWTO: transfer LinHES from IDE --> SATA HDD |
This HOWTO is based on my experience transferring a fully functional LinHES (R6.00.01) install from an IDE drive to a SATA drive for use in another system. See that post here. Kudos to the arch wiki for this article. It was really thanks to it that I was able to do this! On to the howto... you'll need two things: Gparted-Live CD (or usb) Arch Linux Live CD (or usb) (Booted into gparted) 1) I used gparted to copy my functional LinHES partition from the old HDD (IDE) to the new HDD (SATA) as /dev/sda1 2) I manually created swap as /dev/sda2 3) I manually created a new /myth as /dev/sda3 and copied over the old /myth (may take a long time depending on the size of the partition) 4) I adjusted the new /etc/fstab (not using uuids but just /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sda3) (Booted into Arch live) 1) I reinstalled grub on the new HDD with a live Arch CD Basically just login as root, then Code: # grub <<<now you're in grub>>> > root (hd0,0 > setup (hd0) > quit At this point, you won't be able to boot the new drive. You'll see the grub menu, but won't be able to find the root device '/dev/sda1' and will be dropped to a recovery shell. LinHES installed to an IDE system and manually xfered to a SATA system is missing some critical SATA hooks! You're stilll booted into your live Arch CD and logined in as root so, do the following to fix it: Code: # mkdir /newarch # mount /dev/sda1 /newarch Note that you'll need to change /dev/sda1 to match your system. Also know that if you made a custom partition layout, it'll could be different AND if you made a separate /boot that you'll need to manually mount it to your /newarch/boot as well! Code: # cd /newarch/dev
# rm console ; mknod -m 600 console c 5 1 # rm null ; mknod -m 666 null c 1 3 # rm zero ; mknod -m 666 zero c 1 5 # mount -o bind /dev /newarch/dev # mount -t proc none /newarch/proc # mount -o bind /sys /newarch/sys # chroot /newarch /bin/bash # mkinitcpio -p kernel26 Now just reboot and everything should work! |
