Default previous installed Linux need to move to another machine?

Hi,

I had an installed Mandraked9.1 Linux on one machine and like to
moved it to another machine. I checked the messages output and it
seems to look into the previous machine's /etc/modules.conf to
configure the new mahcine. The result was linux unable to configure
the new machine hardwares such as the etho, vedio card etc.

What is the required changed in order to use the pre-installed linux
to the new hardware system?

Thanks for helping in advance

- Mike

Would depend on what hardware is different. You might try doing a
rpm -Va | grep '..5' > /tmp/verify
to see what files changed during configuration/install.
