One of the main problems you might have is when the two servers don't
have the same hard disk driver chip manufacturer (SATA driver for
example, on the mainboard side). In this case, your system would not boot
at all, as not all sata drivers are put into the initrd file by default.
It only takes the one that was present on the installed server, and then
makes any move not easily possible.
But if the two servers are the same, then no problems doing that.

Ah, so the SATA driver is not statically linked to the kernel, requiring an initrd to get off the ground.

I guess I need to look into how to regenerate the initrd to include more drivers.
