If i want to migrate a system from a "plain ide" system (on board IDE, and root-fs being /dev/hda2) to a new system where the root-fs would be on a ICP-Vortex RAID-controller, managed by the gdth module. How would I do that in an easy fashion? I thought I would do the following: 1. amend gdth to /etc/mkinitrd/modules on the existing system 2. generate a new initrd for existing system. 3. Install a basic etch on the new platform. 4. copy just about everything except /proc and /dev from the old system to the new host. 5. edit fstab 6. edit grub config 7. reboot How bad would this fail? Also, for the gdth-based system, how can I create a rescue CD that will boot the system? I can't use makeboot, since the system does not have a floppy drive, but it does have a CD-R/w unit.
