From within /boot use: dracut -f initramfs-3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE.img 3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE Eventually you'll need to do this for each initramfs, or only one of them will work. Each kernel option has its own initramfs. > Then I modify the original /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to get the booting on the > clone without modifying the mbr (grub2-install) You modify the original how?
