The resolution to my issue of a new Pentium 4 processor and system board with new peripheral hardware was gratifyingly simple. I just booted the old kernel. After many kernel error messages telling me about hardware which I knew wasn't there anymore, I got to a login prompt, logged in as root, and just recompiled a kernel. I still have an issue with X, which isn't related to the transition from XFree86 to XOrg packages, but I now have a functional system optimized for the new processor.
