moin, moin,

for new 'installs' in the past I've sometimes just copied old systems,
changed the hostname and started using the new drive.

Works great until recently. Now I'm running into a problem with udev. The
new drive ends up with nothing in /dev/, which causes lots of problems.

udev, if I understand this correctly, remounts /dev as /.dev, then mount a
tmpfs partition over /dev and then creates devs as needed.

When I'm copying the fs over what should I copy into /dev? Should I copy
/dev? That isn't working correctly. Should I copy /.dev? Do I need to copy
something to /.dev on the new drive?

This, of course, is on a debian box :). It's tracking testing/sarge.

ciao,

der.hans
