I did the install onto the HD in the Compaq, set inittab to 3 and moved
the HD to the decTOP.
I booted without the ethernet USB dongle, and after I was logged in, I
plugged it in. I had to bring up eth0 and start dhclient. But the
network is working.
But X is not. Different video.
/etc/sysconf/hwconf has the right info:
Class: VIDEO
bus: PCI
detach: 0
desc: "National Semiconductor Corporation Geode GX2 Graphics Processor"
vendorId: 100b
deviceId: 0030
subvendorId: 100b
subdeviceId: 0030
pciType: 1
pcidom: 0
pcibus: 0
pcidev: 1
pcifn: 1
So how do I 'fix' X?

I have a bug report in (0002288) on an install failure on my decTOPs

I have tried a lot of combinations and it is getting tiring.
What what happen, or rather how do I get the following to work:
Put my HD into a computer (Compaq SSF that I have installed Centos 5
on with no trouble), install Centos 5, move the HD to the decTOP.
Different Video card.
No PS/2 keyboard of mouse on the decTOP
INTEL vs AMD cpu
Could it work?
As long as the disk controller is the same type you should be able to
bring it up and fix everything else. I'd set it up to not start X
(init level 3) so you can reconfigure it before it tries to start.
You may have to fix or remove the HWADDR= line in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file since it won't match
the NIC.
