Ah, now I understand what Christian actually meant. An installation on
an IDE drive with no driver for the SCSI controller of the new system.
But I think that shouldn't be an issue since we basically have a kernel
that supports most controllers now - except for the one on the Blizzard
accelerators that still needs to be merged - through modules on the
initrd.
In the worst case, you'd just have to rebuild the initrd first.
