Well, last time I replaced the motherboard, the operating system
(OpenSolaris b134) froze upon boot. I replaced a Gigabyte
GA-MA790FXT-UD5P with my current motherboard (MSI 790FX-GD70). It froze
with the boot splash and I resolved the issue by reinstalling opensolaris.
In this swap, there won't be two Realtek RTL8111DL NIC's, instead there
will be one Intel EXPI9400PT and one Realtek RTL8111E. There will also
not be the AMD790FX chipset but an AMD990FX chipset. So I'm really
curious as to how OI will handle this.
It will most likely freeze upon boot or if I'm lucky boot up with only
one ethernet port.

I wonder how I can make an existing installation of OI work on a new
motherboard. From my past experience the operating system stopped
working when I replaced the motherboard so I had to reinstall it. I
think the reason why is because the new motherboard have different IRQ
mappings even though they had a lot of the hardware in common, which
results in the drivers not finding the hardware on the new
motherboard.
In mu experience, the only family of operating systems tying its installation
so tightly to the current hardware, is Windows. Most unices autodetect hardware
on bootup and should work well even if installed on a 10 year old Pentium.
Vennlige hilsener / Best regards

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er
et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av
idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og
relevante synonymer på norsk.
