Title: Moving the hard disk of a working Endian 2.3 installation to another system
Post by: koukobin on Tuesday 30 March 2010, 12:17:42 pm
I want to move the hard disk of a working 2.3 endian to another system. For my reasons i dont want to use the backup - restore method.
When i did it, the endian booted fine, but as it was expected, the ethernet interfaces of the new system were not configured. The bigger problem was that none of those was a member of br0 (green interface), so i "lost" the endian web interface. The interfaces in the new system are the eth3, eth4 and eth5 (obviously because in the old system was the eth0, eth1 and eth2).

I thing my problem will be solved, if i go to command line and add one of the ethernet cards of the new system, to br0.

But, i dont know how to do that, i am not really a linux user.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I didnt know that Endian has the brctl tool (command line). Its is so easy with this ...

In the console of the new system you write:

Brctl addif br0 ethX

Where X replace the number of the Ethernet interface (of the new system. i.e. eth4) that you want to be the green interface.

After that, you will have access again to web gui. There you can run the network configuration wizard and you are done.

I hope this will help.
