The issue here is about different hardware ... in fact its about the kernel being able to identify hardware & load the necessary modules for it for each boot ... and boting is not a problem since if kernel can't boot I will just recompile it with the right choices in .config in menuconfig or maybe a few changes to the /boot files We did that often at > work - much faster than installing from CD... > We used simply a tar command, > left out /proc /sys and /dev and created some nodes in /dev by hand.

I mean does the install from CD do some hidden stuff under the hood that depends on the hardware ? if it doesn't then imaging & installing from CD will lead to same result ... only the install will make you work 10 hours more to get perl modules from cpan, aptget other stuff, configure others ... when I asked about whether it would be the same as a CD Install I meant whether imaging a linux installation could make it instable ...
