Do you meant that the system runs on old depreciated hardware(driver
dropped) or that it runs on some 'uniquish/very uncommon hardware that
isn't already loaded into the kernel (shades of olde time when you ran
a config and compile script on your kernel sources to get the kernel you
wantedto use.).

Having an initramfs and ide/sata/SDD hardware, I wont be expecting any problems. Hmm, might have to finally move the
