Expect many if not all of the hardware drivers to be the wrong ones -- which is bound to yield unexpected and undesirable results.

If you're going to move an image from one platform to another, you need to be able to insert the correct drivers before booting up. You would need to use Universal Restore or a similar strategy.

i have tried to restore 32bit linux image on 64it arch, the image restores sucessfully. After rebooting the server we enocuntered the followin error with kernel panic.

insmod: error inserting /lib/aacraid.ko; -1 no such device
error: /bin/insmod exited abnormally!
mkrootdev: label / not found

I want to use universal restore, but the universal restore step doesnt come up, while running restore wizard. i would like to insert the correct drivers before booting up, i dont know how to do that, please kinldy help us to resolve the issue.
