I had a power supply failure and I moved my hard drive directly to another computer (from 200MHz Intel to 500MHz AMD) as this was a semi-planned upgrade that came a bit earlier than expected. I expected to migrate data to a new install, not the actual drive.
I got a kernel panic with the first boot with some timing errors in the messages. uname -a Linux pools 2.4.22-1-386 #9 Sat Oct 4 14:30:39 EST 2003 i586 GNU/Linux currently running "testing". I didn't do a proper checkout of the bug as I was in a hurry to get the machine back up and running. Short sighted on my part. After reboot, all _seems_ to be well. But fear hovers all around and I plan to do a fresh install ASAP. Question: Is there any known gotchas to upgrading all the hardware without reinstalling the system? The only change to the config that I made was to change the module loaded for the network card. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!
