Hi - I am about to embark on a new adventure and am going to install/upgrade a new motherboard, with new processor, on-board graphics, and memory. (The old one is about 15 years old, dating back to the Pentium 2 core processor days.) I want to keep my OpenSuSE 15.4 x64 system and all the custom application configurations as is. Is there any hiccups or other roadblocks I should prep my system for, before doing this massive hardware change-over? I just want to make this adventure go as smooth as possible and looking for advice from the schools of hard knocks!
Thanks as always, in advance... Marc..
only two things to think about: 1) if you have a nvidia graphic in the old system with nvidia proprietary drivers, remove all of the driver stuff. (i am not sure if necessary to run mkinitrd after removing) 2) take a look in your /etc/fstab file. if there are the old drives in with the specific names, change them inside your old computer to something that will boot in the new one as example "/dev/sda1" will be fine for new and old computers (if its a real harddrive). if its a something cryptic your new system will maybe not boot (you could try). of course you have to run the mkinitrd as david has written here, before you change hardware, that the initrd boot is ready when you plug in new mainboar3d (and after also as he has described). simoN -- www.becherer.de ----------------------------------------------- - Das ist die vorlaeufig endgueltige Version! - Herbert C.
