Hello;
I have a machine running with FreeBSD 6.0 running on AMD64 socket 754
and Elite Group motherboard. It has been up and running without problem
continuously for about 5 weeks now (although I am the only one
connecting to it at present). I have purchased
a new mother board and cpu. The new mb is Gigabyte GA-K8N-SLI and the
new cpu is Athlon 64 socket 939. It has extended PCI slots and I am
planning on swapping the FreeBSD installation to the new motherboard
and processor. If I just move the hard drives
and SCSI adapter to the new machine will it run on the different
motherboard and processor? Or do I have to install FreeBSD specifically
on the new machine?
The reason I'm considering this is because the AMD64 754 machine has a
SCSI adapter made for an extended PCI slot.
The mb has only standard PCI slots so the adapter isn't being used
optimally. So I would be swapping the main drive (ata) and two SCSI
drives (assigned usr and var partitions, respectively), as well as the
adapter.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance;
JK
