It may work, or it may not - it depends :-). If the new motherboard requires any new kernel modules you may not be able to boot the old kernel because the required modules are missing from the initrd image of the old boot partition. You can probably update the initrd image somehow from a rescue mode boot, but I'm not expert on just how to do that. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
