Personally, I think all you need to do is to ensure that the kernel has all the drivers it needs to speak to the new mobo. Other members of the @world set relies on the drivers in the kernel.

But I don't use any GUI or audio; if you're using a GUI and/or audio, you might also have to re-emerge the relevant bits.

BSTS: just re-emerge @world :-)

It uses the same audio chip so that should be OK but that is something that I hadn't thought of tho. I have a seperate video card which will be moving over as well. So that *should* work. We hope.

I'm hoping this will be as painless as I hope it will be. I just got to remember how to hook the drivers up. Especially the first one. I certainly want sda to be correct. ;-)

Thanks. You thought of something I hadn't thought of.
