Whether it works or not depends on having the correct hard drive module either compiled in the kernel or on the initrd. It may depend on 'how' different the controllers are since some modules cover several variations. The kernel and initrd are loaded by bios, then the kernel has to be able to load the rest of the modules it needs. Obviously it can't load the hard drive driver module from the hard drive so that has to have already been conveniently stashed in the initrd image. Other modules can be loaded from the hard drive so most other hardware differences will be sorted out on the fly during bootup. You might have to reconfigure your X setup manually or sort out which network interface is which, but at least you are up and running while you do that. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
