This is probably a problem with acronis software, but maybe somebody can
suggest something.

I have an acronis true image backup of a linux disk that has 3 partition:
compaq service (39mb), boot (104mb) and root (840mb) total of 1gb disk
(this is a solid state compact flash type disk, not a hard drive). I need
to debug a problem, but the core dump exceeds the remaining capacity of the
flash drive.

I tried reinstalling the backup on a larger disk, marking the /boot
partition as active, all the rest as primary. I tried various combinations,
all I can do is boot into the grub prompt. Not sure what to do afterwards.
I also tried acronis partition expert that allows partitions to be copied
and resized at the same time. Same problem, i boot into that GRUB> prompt
consistenly.

..TIA..
