I have a server now that runs Stretch (HP microserver) that began life in 2002 running Debian 3.0 (Woody). The original machine was a Pentium Pro 200 MHz with maybe 16 MB RAM. It went from that box into a new small form factor case with a mini-ATX (or was it micro-ATX?) motherboard and a VIA C7 CPU. That motherboard eventually failed and was replaced, then the power supply later failed and that was when I acquired the HP, which necessitated switching from 32-bit to 64-bit. My main workstation is in a similar situation. It started life in 2003 with an AMD Athlon XP CPU on a BioStar motherboard. That machine went through 4 motherboards from different manufacturers until a few years ago I went to another Biostar motherboard with an Intel Core i5 CPU. In every case, the main things which ended up being factors in the migration were: - kernel modules (my configuration either unconditionally loaded incompatible modules or blacklisted modules I needed) - device naming assumptions that were not constant (e.g., references to things under /dev/disk/by-uuid) - Left-over semi-persistent state files (e.g., in /var) It is difficult to be more specific without the specific error messages you are seeing.

It will be a good start. Use this command to get system logs: $ sudo journalctl -b Also, post full specs of your computer. It is probably a good idea to check ASUS support site for a BIOS update for your motherboard, as recent hardware is likely to be rushed to the market asap and patched later. -- With kindest regards, Alexander. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org ⠈⠳⣄
