Could you give more details?
What virtual machine? How did you copy from the virtual drive?
What kinds of changes were needed?
fstab I think I could do. Not so sure about grub.
Old grub or shiny grub?
As previously noted, I could not get F16 on my computer
you can even clone a complete setup without touch fstab
below they way i cloned two physical machines with 3
RAID devcies (linux -software RAID) by booting both
with a Live-CD, enable sshd and setup a ssh-key to
not need type password
the setup is
* RAID1: /boot
* RAID10: /
* RAID10: /data
they have now both the same UUIDs everywhere
as VMware converter is even able to mirgate a running
pyhsical machine over SSH to a VM in the cluster this
is quite easy for linux-systems
