#189036 — New Motherboard installation question

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I installed a new motherboard on a system that I run as as a server. Same system has 3 1tb disks with Debian stable installed, and 1 with Windows 10 installed, all booting at my discretion from grub. I was able to get all of the drives to operate, and Im using one for this. However I have noticed a crap load of boot error messages when I watch the system boot on anything except Windows, as it does not display any boot messages. As I said it's working but those error messages were not there before I replaced the motherboard, which was in fact defective. Both the old board and the new one are ASUS. I figure that I need to do some type of Linux maintenance reset, but as I have never done a replacement without doing a complete reinstall of all the software, I have no idea what to do. Any tips are welcome, and no I have not researched this online. I'm just seeking info from folks that have done this before.ThanksJohn

I would say that if you want specific suggestions, posting the actual
error messages is a good start.

I have a server now that runs Stretch (HP microserver) that began life
in 2002 running Debian 3.0 (Woody).  The original machine was a Pentium
Pro 200 MHz with maybe 16 MB RAM.  It went from that box into a new
small form factor case with a mini-ATX (or was it micro-ATX?)
motherboard and a VIA C7 CPU.  That motherboard eventually failed and
was replaced, then the power supply later failed and that was when I
acquired the HP, which necessitated switching from 32-bit to 64-bit.

My main workstation is in a similar situation.  It started life in 2003
with an AMD Athlon XP CPU on a BioStar motherboard.  That machine went
through 4 motherboards from different manufacturers until a few years
ago I went to another Biostar motherboard with an Intel Core i5 CPU.

In every case, the main things which ended up being factors in the
migration were:

- kernel modules (my configuration either unconditionally loaded
  incompatible modules or blacklisted modules I needed)
- device naming assumptions that were not constant (e.g., references to
  things under /dev/disk/by-uuid)
- Left-over semi-persistent state files (e.g., in /var)

It is difficult to be more specific without the specific error messages
you are seeing.

Regards,

-Roberto

Can you show us what error messages exactly look like? It will be a good
start.
Use this command to get system logs:
    $ sudo journalctl -b

Also, post full specs of your computer.

It is probably a good idea to check ASUS support site for a BIOS update
for your motherboard, as recent hardware is likely to be rushed to the
market asap and patched later.
