I set up a Fedora 15 installation on a laptop with an  intel based chipset. I just got an AMD ( Turion ) chipset notebook. I assume swapping the hard drive will result in the fedora installation crashing? If such is the case, other than a fresh install, is there a way to do it which will work?


Usually the biggest problem (at least in my experience) is with sata drivers. The trick is to run mkinitrd and force it to include the correct module for the new motherboard (old one should be included by default, so there's practically no way to mess this up)
