Ghost 4 Linux - Clone Old Server missing /sbin/init

Asked by mrmad1966 in Linux Setup, Linux Administration, Computer Servers

Tags: Ubuntu, Server 6.06 LTS

OK..Big help needed here..Is anyone clever enough to help ???
I am running Ubuntu Server 6.06 LTS.
 I have an old PIII 700 which had a 40Gb drive as /dev/hda this drive recently started to produce ide errors.
On this drive was only the O/S & swaps.
I purchased a new 80Gb drive, created partition 1 as an equal size to partition 1 on the old drive, also created an extended partition again to match the old drive..I did NOT create any swaps..

I used Ghost 4 Linux and choose the clone drive option. The old drive appeared to clone successful but when replacing the old master drive with the new cloned 80Gb drive I now get an error.Grub seems to load OK then a message says "Target filesystem doesnt have /sbin/init" then a busybox prompt..
I am only a beginner so help would be a MASSIVE thing for me !
Yours hopefully
