I wouldn't expect too much in the way of plain sailing. All the motherboard devices will be different to start with, plus what's plugged into them. Linux will hopefully just look at the changes, shrug and carry on, but I wouldn't count on it. Do you have /home mounted separately to the rest of the system?I am expecting to remove the current nvidia drivers off this first, and also comment out the swap from the fstab as its on another drive currently, oh and comment out the various other hard drives until I move them over later on (all using UUID's so "should" be painless. Anything else that might help make things go smoother ?Julian -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
Speaking from recent experience should just work. I upgraded my server from a P4 to an AMD system the other day and it just worked. Everything was detected and the machine carried on as normal.
