move root with rsync -aHA but sudo not work. How to fix?

up vote 0 down vote favorite

I ran rsync -aHA --delete --devices -S -xv /media/tmp/oldroot/ /media/newroot/. After I reboot, I can login. But I cannot use sudo and passwd.

How to fix this?

$ sudo ls
sudo: must be setuid root

$ passwd
Changing password for galaxy.
(current) UNIX password: 
passwd: Authentication failure
passwd: password unchanged

Well, I just find I mount the new disk with nosuid. That is the reason. Maybe I should keep this question for those just made a mistake like me. – Galaxy Jul 14 '11 at 14:28
