I did the install onto the HD in the Compaq, set inittab to 3 and moved the HD to the decTOP.
I booted without the ethernet USB dongle, and after I was logged in, I plugged it in. I had to bring up eth0 and start dhclient. But the network is working.
But X is not. Different video.
/etc/sysconf/hwconf has the right info:
Class: VIDEO bus: PCI detach: 0 desc: "National Semiconductor Corporation Geode GX2 Graphics Processor" vendorId: 100b deviceId: 0030 subvendorId: 100b subdeviceId: 0030 pciType: 1 pcidom: 0 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 1 pcifn: 1
So how do I 'fix' X? Les Mikesell wrote:

I have tried a lot of combinations and it is getting tiring.
What what happen, or rather how do I get the following to work:
Put my HD into a computer (Compaq SSF that I have installed Centos 5 on with no trouble), install Centos 5, move the HD to the decTOP.
Different Video card. No PS/2 keyboard of mouse on the decTOP INTEL vs AMD cpu
Could it work?
As long as the disk controller is the same type you should be able to bring it up and fix everything else. I'd set it up to not start X (init level 3) so you can reconfigure it before it tries to start. You may have to fix or remove the HWADDR= line in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file since it won't match the NIC.
