Nah, that's the way it should be. This isn't Windows... Same here, BTW. I've swapped drives between boxes quite often and never had an issue. With one single exception: I once swapped a drive from a Pentium machine to a 486 - and forgot that I had recompiled the kernel for Pentium. For obvious reasons, that didn't quite work... ;-) One thing to keep in mind, however, is that even with a stock kernel (which most people will use anyway) you will have to reconfigure a few bits and pieces. Things like video and sound come to mind, as well as network cards and USB, maybe even IDE and SCSI, depending on your setup. Personally, I usually disable kudzu, as it takes another few seconds during boot, so I either have to configure things manually or I run kudzu manually.
