[ale] Brain transplant - SOLVED

[sbd at u.arizona.edu (Scott Denlinger)]

The resolution to my issue of a new Pentium 4 processor and system board with
new peripheral hardware was gratifyingly simple. I just booted the old kernel.
After many kernel error messages telling me about hardware which I knew wasn't
there anymore, I got to a login prompt, logged in as root, and just recompiled
a kernel. I still have an issue with X, but I now have a functional system
optimized for the new processor.

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions.
