2991,Cloned HD of CentOS 5.2 can not boot,Chen Shaopeng,,"A HD cloned from another HD of CentOS 5.2 using the following:


{{{
  VBoxManage clonehd centos5.2_1.vdi centos5.2_2.vdi
}}}

can not boot up due to volume error. The cloning seems to finish successfully, but when I tried to boot the cloned HD, I got the following error on the boot screen:


{{{
  Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting
    Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
    No volume groups found
    Volume group ""VolGroup00"" not found
  Unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01)
  mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
  setuproot: moving /dev failed: no such file or directory
  setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
  setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
  switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
  Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
  -

}}}

Then everything stops there forever. The original HD still can boot without problem. The cloned HD is smaller than the original one.
