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...
Maybe not such a good idea if your old hardware included an NVidia GPU and NVidia's proprietary drivers installed, and the new will include a different GPU. Those drivers muck with things that could make the first boot experience painful. Those drivers should be uninstalled according to their installation instructions last thing before turning off the old for the last time before the motherboard swap, unless you'll be using the same old GPU with the new motherboard. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
