Hiya List,
I've got a Suse 9.3/9.2 dual boot going on. I'll be swapping 2 hard-drives into an entirely new system rsn. The hardware configuration is totally different from the current one.
OFTEN there are controller differences between MOBs. Most often I make backups of ALL data I must have/need/want, then swap MOBs. Then, reformat all partitions and reload data.

Guys, Thank you very much for your advice. Everything went fairly well. The only major issue was that I had to reinstall the driver (7167) for NVidia and manually select the FX 5200 option from YAST otherwise the computer would freeze up shortly after logging into an X display. There are a number of other little tweaks that need to be addressed but I figure I'll jump into the archives and see what is in there to solve them. One thing that I discovered is that there are just way too many options in the BIOS these days! Now I have to crack open Google to research temp sensors, fan speeds and SATA! It just never ends, does it? :) Regards. Ken
