Move rootfs to different machine? (pogoplug v4) (2 replies)

I have a few PogoPlugs - 1 E02 and 2 v4's. I have debian running successfully on the E02 and 1 v4 using Bodhi's rootfs, and kernel updated to 4.4. I'd like to copy the root fs to another drive to get the 2nd v4 up and running, but I've run into some problems. I tarred the rootfs on a diff linux box and set up an identical drive to the first and untarred the rootfs to the sda1 partition. Unfortunately, the 2nd v4 wont boot with that cloned rootfs (with updated hostname).

To test the 2nd v4 out, I installed a fresh copy of the rootfs, and that booted successfully. Then I took the original usb drive (configured rootfs) from the 1st v4 and tried to boot the 2nd and it did not boot either. It seems they will only boot with the rootfs that was set up from scratch on them for some reason? Is there any config in the rootfs I need to blank out / update to get a configured rootfs to boot on different but identical hardware? Thanks!
