Just trying to be succinct, but perhaps I should have spelled it out more. There is only one partition, and I moved it using gparted, ie. dd. I other words, there should not be any changes except what I had to do to get it to boot. Snip from my post on ubuntuforums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9173502 "Old partition boots fine on new pc. What should have broken?" Synopsis of steps: Boot old laptop from cd. Connect new laptop disk using usb. Partition in gparted, make new swap, then copy paste Karmic partition in free space. Fix grub using chroot, grub-install, update-grub Put disk back. Boot. :) Freeze up swapping a few times. Fix uuid for swap in fstab. Fix swap uuid in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume just in case. Does this shed any new light on the issue? *Hopefull* :) Gaute
