[mythtv-users] Upgrade motherboard/CPU without reinstalling FC5?

[list at onnow.net]

I would not re-install.  Linux is very capable of hardware changes.   
If you are up and running on your new hardware, and ivtv is causing  
issues, re-installing and having the same install of ivtv will do the  
same thing.  Total waste of time.  Just fix your ivtv.  Update to the  
latest version, re-install ivtv, etc.....  Do a yum update and get  
your system, kernel etc... to the latest version, nvidia drivers  
etc... as well and then start from there.  Any issues that you cant  
find help for elsewhere or in this list, then post here and people  
will help.

Re-install when an OS has issues is for Windoze IMHO
