The general rule is no problems if the new motherboard is old enough. That translates roughly into 6-12 months newer OS release than hardware introduction date.
100% agree,
Since the boot process probes for hardware, as long as the kernel has the modules for your hardware, just put the new motherboard in, add your 15.4 drive and hit the power button...
As long as you haven't forked out $1K for AMD or Intel's latest hardware that rolled of the assembly line yesterday and that 15.4 doesn't know about, you should be fine.
You may want to regenerate the initrd after your first boot. In 15.4 as root just run 'mkinitrd' and that will automatically hook dracut. Or you can do:
dracut -fM --kver $(uname -r)
IME, as long as you wish to rebuild the running kernel on openSUSE, there's no need to be concerned with what the kernel version or syntax is. All you need is: dracut -f From man page: SYNOPSIS dracut [OPTION...] [<image> [<kernel version>]] DESCRIPTION Create an initramfs <image> for the kernel with the version <kernel version>. If <kernel version> is omitted, then the version of the actual running kernel is used.... -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
