Hello List:

I have exactly the same issue, and the same wondering:
any (fresh) idea ?

> When rebooting this newly cloned guest system I got the following error:

> 	GRUB loading.
> 	Welcome to GRUB!
>
> 	error: incompatible license.
> 	Entering rescue mode...
> 	grub rescue>
>
> I felt a bit baffled and had no clue so I rebooted GRML again, and this time
> ran the grub-install after doing a chroot into the cloned system. That worked.

> Still, I'm wondering where this "incompatible license" error comes from.
