As far as I know, as long as your drive configuration is the the same

the near future as well, so any insight on this is much apprecaited.
Should be ok (both above and below) as long as you move all the SCSI
cards or map your ide/sata drives the same. I have done this before
without issue
I'm no expert, but I would think its worth mentioning that a GENERIC
kernel, or one relatively uncustomized would be necessary. If you have
removed options/devices from your kernel config file that a necessary
for the new mb/cpu... then you might hit a bump.

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
