You probably need to make new initrd (kernel)
1) Boot with Linux rescue CD and let it search Linux installation
2) At rescue console,
# chroot /mnt/sysimage
# cd /boot ..where initrd located
# mv /boot/initrd-2.4.21-32.EL.img /boot/initrd-2.4.21-32.EL.img.old ..rename old kernel image
3) Check /etc/modprobe.conf and make sure all drivers specified are accurate with new motherboard.
4) Rebuild existing initrd image:
# /sbin/mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-2.4.21-32.EL.img 2.4.21-32.EL
5) Reboot
Note: 2.4.21-32.EL is kernel version number
This is a guide only. I am also at beginner stage. Correct me if I'm wrong.
