I have FC3 installed at the moment on a lucky star KT100 motherboard, with 512SD RAM and AMD Athlon 1.4GHz proccessor. I just got a good deal on a brand new Soltek motherboard, 512 DDR RAM and AMD Athlon 2.4GHz processor. My question is, how will fedora handle this hardware upgrade, first of all will it boot? The HDD an all other other hardware will remain as they are.
I just don't want to try it before I ask someone.. don't want to do a new install if not nessecary.
Thanks in advance.

Shouldn't video be OK as long as you use free drivers? When i switched my voodo 3 for a flashy new geforce 2mx, FC2 did all correct, asked me a couple of questions like "vodoo removal detected, reconfigure?" and "nvidia attachment detected - configure?". All i did was "yes", and gdm etc came up nicely.

Even with closed drivers , it shouldnt be an issue.. Except for ATI cards.. The fglrx config tool adds a line to the X config that says the device ID (or bus ID , dont remmember now the exactly item) that is motherboard dependent.... I had a bit of headache trying to understand what was going on and it took some time till found the option hidden in the X config... now , for nvidia cards with the binary driver , works perfectly.. My brother changed his motherboard and everything worked as it should...

Generally - it does boot and redetect hardware (and kudzu attempts to reconfigure stuff). So things should work. Make sure you have the latest rhgb update installed.
I've swapped hdds between a thinkpad 600E and T40 successfully..

I already did that trick once.. Replacing a motherboard ECS k7vta3 (via kt333 chipset) with an asus a7n8x (nforce 2). At that time , I think I was using FC2. All the necessary stuff was reconfigured automatically by kudzu.. I only had to change the network config to static IP. Considering that you are using FC2 or above , then probably you'll have no problem at all...

Everything went fine. Kudzu detected everything without problems.
Thanks.

I'm glad to read this thread. I had the same question.
