Hello,
I'm using Clonezilla to clone my custom CentOs installation on different hardware.
Usually it works fine, but when i tried to restore the image on a machine with different disk size (bigger disk) everything goes bad.
After the restore i have a Kernel Panic (while boot) because it's unable to mount /sda3 (swop partition).
I'm not sure but may be a Grub problem? (strange it boot /sda1 where is my Kernel)
Or may be a Bios problem? (some hosts even with different disks are working fine)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You might need to use CentOS CD to boot it, and enter rescue mode to recreate initrd. It will include the required modules in initrd. This is the most common issue when you restore an image on different machine.
