I have made a clone of a webserver system disk (Debian 8) using Clonezilla. On booting I got this error:



No OS Found


All the files seemed fine and the problem turned out to be the MBR. The disk originally had a different distro on it. Although Clonezilla reported that it had copied the MBR over, the old MBR remained. I replaced the MBR using Debian Rescue and the system booted but the root partition mounts readonly. The fstab mount option is errors=remount-ro, fsck reports the partition as Clean.



This then causes randon-seed and UTMP failures.



Where should I be looking for the error?




debian mount

  • No fsck errors, all mountpoints there? Can you add more technical details?

  • Have you tried mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda / (assuming root is on /dev/sda...)

  • Already done that but it doesn't fix anything in the boot process, still mounts ro

Check your /etc/fstab, it often contains UUID's. There's a program called blkid which allows you to retrieve those of partitions of the clone.

  • Clonezilla made a dogs dinner of the UUID translation, it translated the root uuid ok but left the swap uuid from the source drive, I corrected it manually after a 'remount-ro
    – Sabreur

  • I've never managed to get the UUID's working, perhaps because I always compile my own kernel. I always replace them in my /etc/fstab by the old "/dev/sdx". And I lived happily ever after.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
