Has anyone succeeded in migrating Fedora / RH onto a different hardware
platform?
Scenario:
If got a full tar backup of an existing running server. I want to restore a
working version on another box, but with diferent hardware (RAID, NIC's,
etc). Restoring the user data is easy. I need to know what files not to
overwrite during the restore after a minimal install on the new box.
I've identified some files needed:
/boot/grub/grub.conf
/boot/grub/device.map
/etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf
/etc/sysconfig/grub
Any got suggestions or links?
