    If the existing system uses a SuSE-supplied Linux kernel, you're good to
    go--they configure their kernels for maximum hardware compatibility
    (possibly sacrificing some performance gains that could be had by
    tailoring the kernel to specific hardware).

    If you've built your own kernel that was narrowly configured for your old
    hardware, you could have a problem.

    If you knew how do do the things that would make such repair necessary,
    you'd also know how to perform that repair, so I'm guessing you have
    nothing to worry about.
