Yeah, what Simon meant was that these are hardware-specific things that are
set during install/use, which make an Ubuntu install harder to 'port' to
different hardware... one of the things that has traditionally been a great
strength of Debian (in particular, but also some other distros).
A cute way of 'cloning' Ubuntu machines is the OEM installer, originally
built for box pushers, but very useful for any disk cloning mass install
requirement.
Reminds of one of my sysadmin war stories; hp-ux has something
called 'ignite' where you can clone a machine and use it to
install to other similar hardware.
All well and good, but ... when you configure networking with
hp-ux's SAM gui it sets all the networking parameters _including mac address_,
even if you haven't set/changed the mac address.
After we got these you beaut machines built from the 'golden' image
using ignite, we wondered why we couldn't get them to communicate
over the network.
Of course they all had the same mac address.

[SLUG] changing motherboards
I have to change motherboards which I've never done before. The old one has on board sound/video and no AGP slot (which is why I have to change). Using Ubuntu 7.04, should I be worried? Is it just a case of dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver dpkg-reconfigure alsa- or is it more complicated than that. I'm also a bit worried that fstab might get messed up. I've got one IDE and one SATA drive, and my system doesn't use the standard UUID that Ubuntu installs (that's a long story to do with Mondoarchive). thanks.. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

If your motherboard has onboard networking, you may also need to change /etc/iftab to have the new MAC address. I'm also a bit worried that fstab might get messed up. I've got one IDE and one SATA drive, and my system doesn't use the standard UUID that I wouldn't expect the device names to change. Sometimes the ordering of hd* changes between releases (Breezy - Dapper did that to me), but it's unlikely to do that if all you're doing is changing the motherboard.

Is it just a case of dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver dpkg-reconfigure alsa- or is it more complicated than that. A new motherboard will most likely have new chipsets in them, and thus requires different drivers from the ones you're using. New drivers may be needed for your chipset, USB and/or firewire chipsets, network card, audio, video to name a few. The mb's power management system might also be different. Fortunately for you I think most common drivers are loaded into the kernel and swapping mb's should be more painless than a Windows system. There really is no way to tell what'll happen until you do the swap. Worst thing that could happen is for you to re-install Ubuntu, which isn't that bad really...if you backup your data properly.
