It will work, but you have to build a new initrd file. Just (as root) do '/sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-(kernel version).img (kernel version)'. That is because the initrd holds the modules needed to start up, and is different for each system.thanks for the reply - i did what you suggested but the boot failed with a kernel panic and this was on the console-
Creating root device mkrootdev: label / not found Mounting root filesystem mount: error 2 mounting ext3 any ideas?? thanks
