New processor and Mobo

ashyanbhog · 2009-07-22 16:23:43

Hi,

changed the processor and motherboard+memory of a Arch m/c recently (Athlon to AthlonXP). Only had to do modify the xorg.conf. Since then Firefox and Openoffice crash once in a while, and a couple of programs failed to compile (complies on another arch m/c).

Does a proc and mobo change warrant a initram rebuild or something similar? Dmesg is posted on pastebin, linked below, it is too long to fit here

This is almost a newbie question, but I guess this sub-form is better placed to help on this.

It boots, so its not too much of an issue, but rebuilding the initrd wouldn't hurt. I did a similar thing the other day, but the change was a bit more drastic. Complete hard drive transplant, went from a Socket A Athlon, to a Pentium 3, very few issues once i got it booted with failsafe and fixed X. Nothing like what happened when i tried it with Windows XP, it worked, but damn was it unhappy about it.

Boot the fallback initrd image and rebuild it

There is a script and a program too on AUR to rebuild all your installed packages.

Rebuilding the initram seems to have solved the problem,

Thanks for your inputs
