For a large installation of Fedora 9 we are cloning an updated system on identical hard disks and then using that hard disk on other systems. Most of the systems are either Pentium 4 or Core Duo processor based and are capable of running the same kernel (i686) The minor problems being faced include difference in network card drivers requiring reconfiguration . However in certain cases, though we are able to successfully boot Fedora 9 on a system using a cloned hard disk but if the same hard disk is moved to another system having a different motherboard, the system boot process comes to a halt after a few steps as it is not able to locate the file systems on the hard disk. The GRUB screen is displayed indicating that the MBR is being read properly. Can there be a likelihood of the disk geometry being interpreted in different manner leading to non recognition of filesystems ? I would appreciate any tips or suggestions.
