Hello,
I use a computer with OpenSUSE 11.4
I try to clone the hard disk to an other hard disk to get an exact copy using dd command.
With fdisk -l, I have identified source and destination disk.
sda is the source
sdb is the destination
Mount system partition (df -a) :
rootfs /
devtmpfs /dev
tmpfs /dev/shm
/dev/sda6 /
/dev/sda7 /home
/dev/sda1 /windows/C
I use dd command to close the disk :
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=32256
Operation finished correctly (same in and out blocks number), install the backup disk as main disk, when boot, we arrived on a green screen with a progression bar but boot stops with message below (sorry for the quality of picture):
doing fast boot
FATAL : Module ata_piix not found
FATAL : Error running install command for ata_piix

Trying manual resume from /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_ … -part5

Waiting for device /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC…-part6 to appear : …
ata-WDC_ … -part6.
Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_ … -part6? (Y/n)
Answer Y to the question after 1 minutes, system gives me the hand to a $ prompt where I can not do much.
I try to clone this disk with Paragon (raw copy), Redo, but this is the same thing, unable to boot.
Your help is appreciate,
Best regards,
Damien.
