I do this fairly often, between similar architectures, using the default kernel. You may have to update hostname, IP, DHCP config, etc depending on how your system/network is configured. But, as always, make sure you have a good backup. You should also have a live cd (like FreeSBIE) handy in case your drive designations change or some hardware is not supported. --=20 -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers--
