The biggest thing that slows that system is that the CPU doesn't have
AES support for my encryption on the drives. Still, I wanted to play
with it and see if it would go any faster. I kinda hate having a nice
SSD drive laying on the shelf doing nothing. I got a good deal but
still, needs to get some exercise.
I know I'm missing a step somewhere. What I may do, start over and put
a DOS partition table on it and just copy over /etc and the world file.
Then let it rebuild everything. If I do that, I got to wait until this
storm is gone and may have to wait until we finish that last tree. We
got one finished yesterday and got the last one cut up and ready to
split, haul to the barn and stack. It's a LOT of wood. He said it will
last him two years at least. He keeps 3 to 5 years worth on hand. I
think he is at about the 6 year mark now. He loves working with wood.
Oh, trees were dead or dying for those who hate to read about wood being
cut up. The two we cut was a danger to the guys home and outbuildings,
depending on where the wind took it. The first tree was dead. It had
no leaves last year and was rotting at the bottom. The two trees had
insect damage and were starting to die as well. When it fell, the trunk
actually broke in a couple places since it was weakening. Most of the
trees he cuts, storms put them on the ground. Cutting down a tree isn't
something he does a whole lot of unless a tree is dead.
Anyway, I may just do a quick reinstall and change partition tables.
Maybe that has something to do with it. One reason I'd like to figure
it out tho, may help some other poor soul who is trying to use some
older hardware and runs into this problem.
The only thing I can think of that you may have missed is to rebuild
your initrd.img or what ever ram disk you may be using to boot up. You
would have to do this while chrooted. As others have stated, make sure
your fstab file is updated correctly as well as the grub.cfg.
