I made an image of an installed OS on one machine, then tried to boot off that image (On an external 2.5" SSD Samsung T9).
I did not really expect it to work and I got the dracut prompt

/dev/rhel/root does not exist and so on. Entering emergency mode.

Is that due to the differences in hardware?
Or the fact that it's an external 2.5"? I have never had much luck booting external disks. Something to do with SATAIII architecture and my machine. NVME/Pcie SSD boot, the SATAIII 2.5" do not. (But SATAIII M.2 does).

I used Clonezilla to clone a working install of RHEL.
