    I dd-ed the image straight to the HDD. grub started and booted off from it. lots of messages of PCI devices, I guess some kind of scan. after a while the screen went white, and a bit later the logs of the kernel panic appeared at the top, with the message it could’t find a device to boot from.

    so, it seems that the kernel itself didn’t see the hdd it just booted from - standard IDE PATA disk, 120GB. Used dd from a gparted live disc.

    First, I resized the partition on the disk to the full, at the next try I left it, as-is.

    Both times the same result; the BIOS boots into Serenity, white screen, then kernel panic, couldn’t find a device to boot from.

    Thing is, there are 2 DVD drives (IDE and SATA) and a floppy drive attached to the PC, dunno if they can cause any problem. And 1GB memory.

    this was yesterday, and since then I haven’t got tieme to fiddle with it, but will. :)
