It would be _really_ nice if the installer could be re-run in this
situation, offering to fix only the things that needed to be fixed
(re-detect hardware, build a working initrd, install grub, fix your
modprobe.conf and check your fstab and network setup). You can do
this gunk by hand, but it means you have to know as much as anaconda
(which doesn't seem to be all that well documented...) about hardware
and drivers. You can sort-of get most of the effect by making /boot a
separate partition, doing a basic install on the new hardware, then
removing everything except /boot and copying in your old stuff, but
that seems unnecessarily cumbersome.
I wounder what doing an upgrade instead of a new install would do.
Would it accept the current install's values hardware and such, or
would it do its own checking/setup?
