Hi I have an installation of SUSE on /dev/hda in a PC using a P4 (with hyper-threading) and a motherboard with SiS655TX chipset. I want to move this hard drive to a new box using an MSI motherboard with nVidia Ultra 4 chipset and an Athlon 64 dual core 4400+ Will the SUSE installation boot normally or should I use the rescue option? I've done this several times with Mandrake (i586 smp kernel) and Ubuntu (i686 smp kernel) without problems but was wondering if SUSE would behave ;) The current kernel is a SMP kernel for the hyper-threading. I'm not too familiar with SUSE so pardon me if it all sounds obvious to some of you. Thanks for any tips. -- Frederic P.

This should work. But if not by any obscure reason, the fallback would not be "rescue", but "normal installation" with boot parameter "manual=1", and then - eventually after loading necessary modules by hand - go "boot installed system" (with the kernel from CD/DVD).
