Sounds like a good plan to me. If it doesn't boot on the new machine with the kernel from old one after installing a stock kernel then boot KNOPPIX, chroot into the system, reinstall the kernel. The problem that might arise is if the new system needs a specific kernel driver that the old system does not need. This is configured into the /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) file and may need to be rebuilt. Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
