The new VM will boot and probably fail to mount the root because the UUID changed. | |||
You can fix this by dropping into grub the usual way: | |||
* virsh start --console NEWVM | |||
* press ESC before the kernel starts | |||
* press e to edit a menu entry | |||
* modify the kernel command line (for example, root=/dev/vdb) | |||
* hit ctrl-x to boot | |||
After booting, remember to update your grub.cfg and test it: | |||
# update-grub | |||
# reboot | |||
