Post subject:  Move from IDE to SATA - need help

I had a failing IDE 500GB drive that I used dd_rescue to copy to a new SATA 1TB drive. The copy worked fine with 488GB copied over with about 170KB not transferred because of errors. I have not expanded the partition size yet.

When I boot from the SATA drive, I get the loading linux.....
(the left side is off screen so cut off represented by [])

I see the following:
[]xrc: Out of file descriptors
[]init: Out of file descriptors
[]l panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

I'm running R5.5. This is a combined frontend/backend.

What do I need to do to fix it so I can use the new drive?

Thanks!

Did you use the search function before posting? You would have found my howto on just this topic: http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20621

Post subject:  no mkinitcpio

I had not found that article...that is close to what I am trying to do. For now, I am just trying to get to R5.5 working on the new drive...then I can worry about upgrading another time to 6.

I'm booted using Knoppix 6.2 and do not have the
Code:
mkinitcpio
command.

I've made the changes to /etc/fstab but am leary to start down the path that ends up needing to run a command not on the Knoppix CD.

What would be the equivalent steps for Knoppix?

Booting with Knoppix 6.2 CD

grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

grub> setup (hd0)

Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no

Error 15: File not found


Anyone do this with Knoppix?

Ah... R5.5 uses lilo not grub so it won't work. The rest of the howto rebuilds the kernel images and that'll only work for R6 since it's Arch based. I dunno how to do the equiv. thing w/ KP at all, sorry. You might wanna google how to reinstall lilo.
