How to clone an OS to another hardware via rsync along with the kernel?

Question

linux

1) Is the game worth the candle
2) What can be a "rake"
Here's what I found on the Internet:

rsync -auHxv -e "ssh -p $port" --numeric-ids --exclude=/etc/fstab --exclude=/etc/network/* --exclude=/proc/* --exclude=/tmp/ * --exclude=/sys/* --exclude=/dev/* --exclude=/mnt/* --exclude=/boot/* --exclude=/root/* [email protected]:/* /

But this command copies the OS without the kernel. And it is necessary with a kernel. Since I am transferring a machine with virtual machines to another hardware.

Answer 1

1 Remove --exclude=/boot/* and the kernel will be copied
2 after rsync don't forget to install the bootloader.
The rake can be:
1 if the new hardware has devices for which there are no drivers in the portable OS.
2 The contents of /etc/fstab may need to be tidied up
