Would it be possible to add a feature to rescue mode and/or the livecd
to fix things up after a move to new hardware? That is, check and re-do
all of the stuff that happens during an install to build the initrd
image in /boot, re-install grub, set up X and the other
hardware-related black magic that happens in an install? The obvious
use case would be where your motherboard fries and you move the disk(s)
to another box with a controller that needs a different driver, but you
get the same scenario if you've done a backup/restore or you want to
convert something that has been running under vmware to real hardware.
In the backup/restore case it may also be necessary to fix up /etc/fstab
and/or partition labels to match but I'm not so concerned about the
parts where the changes are known and intentional as I am about having
to know as much as the installer does about matching hardware to drivers.
Does such a thing already exist, and if not, where is the right place to
file an RFE?
