Is the file system ext2? Ghost only supports ext2 as far as I know. I have
used it to copy an ext3 based machine and I had to rebuild the journal and run
a fsck on all of the partitions to get it to boot. I have no idea bout Grub
though. I have always found lilo to be more dependable and easier to
configure.

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see of it the more it
looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything
technically interesting there. In my opinion MS is a lot better at making
money than it is at making good operating systems.  -- Linus Torvalds
