Had a typhoon go thru, and power was out for 6 days.
All but one machine came up, but power is still having lots of 
issues.

The one machine that wasn't booting had its power supply get fired, 
but replacing it got machine to start booting, but would just hang.
Would not boot from default kernel or others, and not with rescue.
Machine would boot fine from my g4l kernel and its initramfs with 
no problem. So grub is working. Ran fsck on all the partitions, and 
it fixed some minor things on some. But reboot still was hanging.
Figured something was wrong with the /boot or swap. /dev/sda1 
and /dev/sda2 so copied those partition from another machine, and 
reset the fstab to match the blkid. But still no luck.
So copied the / partition /dev/sda3 and again synced the fstab to the 
blkid /home is /dev/sda5 so matched it.

Machine booting with rescue kernel gets to this point.

Job dev-disk-by\x2duuid-9we0af15\x2...tart running (8min 14s

Machine is 17 timezones away from were I am, so brother is doing 
reboots, and sends screen shots. If I was physically there, would 
backup the /home directory, and jus do a clean install.

So at a loose? Hardware seems to be OK, and /boot, /swap, / 
partitions sda1, sda2, and sda3 have bin bit copied from another 
machine. fstab for sda5 /home has been matched. 

Thinking it must be something with the disks being different.
So, need to get this dev-disk-by to get thru rather than hanging.
blkid only shows uuids for the partitions. 

Am I messing something, or is it a lost cause? Is a backup machine, 
so have all data on other machines. Could just image the disk from 
machine 80 to the broken machine 103. Just reset hostname 
afterwards. 

Thanks.
