-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have not had this experience. My file server at home has gone from a dual P3, to a 939 AMD64, then two separate AM+ based AMD boards with different chipsets, all without reinstalling the OS or building an initrd.
Of course this is an up to date Ubuntu machine (I keep upgrading to the current version of Ubuntu). It has been years since I have had to manually build an initrd image on any machine.
