Hi All, |
| 2 |
|

An interesting theoretical question. I have a K6-2 with a SATA card |
| 4 |
sitting in it, with two drives, which are happily soft-mirrored, with |
| 5 |
LVM layered on top, and a nice big iSCSI partition that gets shared to |
| 6 |
my laptop whenever it's home..... |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
It runs postfix (with all the associated tools, amavisd, sqlgrey, |
| 9 |
spamassassin), mysql, apache, IMAP etc etc etc I would *really* not like |
| 10 |
to have to re-install, and re-set up. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I am thinking of upgrading the dead PC I have in the house, that |
| 13 |
would go to an Athlon 64X2, which would be more than adequate for a |
| 14 |
desktop, even with all of these services running. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
So, the question. What would I have to do in order that I could |
| 17 |
build the new system, shutdown the old one, pull the drives, plug them |
| 18 |
into the new one, turn it on, and have it actually work? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Obviously a kernel recompile (probably make allyesconfig, or |
| 21 |
makeallmodconfig), and a lilo change (since this machine won't boot from |
| 22 |
SATA since the spec didn't exist when it was first turned on...). |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
But what else? Will mtune=k6-2 make executables that will run on an |
| 25 |
Athlon 64? Anyone tried this? Would I get to a point where I could make |
| 26 |
-e world and have a nice working system? |
