If the kernel of the two different machine is of the SAME EXACT version (small version differences perhaps can work too), and hardware wise identical, then it is possible to move the kernel modules files that live in the old machine to the new one. Otherwise I think there is no guarantee that you can move files around can still get it to work. THis is because the kernel and modules build are usually tied together. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
