Should.
If it does not, I might try booting a knoppix CD, mounting and chrooting as
needed.
yaird -test will show stuff needed in either the initrd or compiled into the
kernel for it to boot. One may make a new initrd or recompile the kernel and
try again.
Hardware modules for lmsensors and such may need be specified for loading.
