Sounds like a good plan to me. If it doesn't boot on the new machine
with the kernel from old one after installing a stock kernel then boot
KNOPPIX, chroot into the system, reinstall the kernel. The problem
that might arise is if the new system needs a specific kernel driver
that the old system does not need. This is configured into the
/boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) file and may need to be rebuilt.
