Howdy, I have a Samsung SSD 500GB drive that I ended up not using in my new build, went with the m.2 stick thingy. I decided that I would put it in the NAS box and replace the spinning rust drive. I booted a sysrescue image. I created and mounted both drives, creating directories as needed. I then one at a time used cp -av to copy /bin, /boot and so on skipping /dev, /proc and such that is created on the fly so to speak. I did create /sys and /proc tho. I even copied the home directory, not that there is much in there that I need. Once I got it all copied, I chrooted into the new drive. I installed grub on it using grub-install /dev/sdb, since it is the second drive at this point. I went back and looked at the install docs to be sure I didn't need to run anything else. Since I already had a config file and all, it should just work.
When I try to boot with the SSD drive, I get this on the screen, pardon my having to type it in. This comes up right after the BIOS screen. loading operating system . . . GRUB That's it. It can't be the BIOS because if I connect the old drive as first drive, it boots just fine. I've missed a command somewhere. I'm sure it isn't the OS itself since it is a clone basically. I am almost certain I missed a grub command somewhere but can't figure out what it is. Searching for the error got other hits but not what I'm seeing. Has someone seen this before and recall how to fix it? Remember what command it is that I missed? I'm not sure this SSD drive is going to make that old NAS mobo go any faster. LOL It is kinda old. Thanks. Dale :-) :-) Oh, after my friend and I finished cutting a huge tree into firewood, he went and cut two more slightly smaller trees. I'm about beat. I hope when we get done with these two, he puts the chainsaw on the shelf to give it, and ME, a break. :/
