. . . sigh . . . Some times the RAM fairies get tired I guess. I get it, what is #shit is when humans lie . . . and hide this fact, and onsell them on as a component in a 'tested' 'working' thing, that fails to boot every 7th time.
#SystemRescueCD and #memtest86 are awesome by the way.

I've seen reports of people using #clonezila on #LVM volumes, but I wasn't so lucky.
I ended using a combination of #systemrescuecd, #partclone and #ssh to get maximum transfer speed between both computers.
The same technique many people use with #tar.
partclone.ext4 --clone --source <partition> | ssh <receiving_IP> 'partclone.ext4 --restore -o <dest_partition>'
Just remember to disable the `iptables` unit and setting systemrescuecd's `passwd` accordingly on the receiving computer.

@RichiH @grmlproject
I've been using #systemrescuecd for as long, but I'm curious about #grml now.
Thank you for sharing.
And because I've recently discovered #Ventoy - https://www.ventoy.net/, I will likely have both of them on a single usb stick, aside to all my usual iso files.

It doesn't happen often, but with the #xz craze and forced #arch #linux update I had a failed update (power issue during forever-waiting dkms update) which broke my boot to the point I had no working config. What I had to do:
1) Load from USB - the #SystemRescueCD happens to be Arch based, which is perfect (you do have a recovery USB, right?)
2) # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
3) # arch-chroot /mnt
4) # mount /dev/sda1 /boot
5) # pacman -S linux
This run all the post-install hooks which fixed the boot.

@dennix @archer72 I had to go through a similar procedure the other day because I forgot to run geninitrd after updating the kernel on one of my #slackware installs. Easy enough fix with #systemrescuecd
For a long time I struggled trying to boot a #systemrescuecd iso image stored in my hard drive from #grub, to have a rescue system without having to use a USB drive.
#TIL it is very easy with grml-rescueboot from #grml — it is available on most distros.
This tool places a grub hook that reads all the isos under `/boot/grml/` and creates an entry into grub's boot menu after you run `update-grub`.
