new hardware question

what do i need to do to upgrade my motherboard and processor? in the past i've always built my own kernels, but now i use the arch kernel. do i just boot with the install CD, and then run mkinitcpio to get the right modules into the initrd? or do i even need to do that? :?:

Re: new hardware question

You should only need to rebuild your initramfs.  The fallback image should work when you install the new hardware, though.  Then just rebuild the non-fallback image.

Re: new hardware question

okay, so i will boot with the fallback image, and then run:

mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26.img -k {version}-ARCH
