new motherboard - reinstall ubuntu?

[Richard W. Knight]

Before you do the upgrade, recompile the kernel with the appropriate 
modules for your current system and the modules needed by the new MB. 
The new kernel "should" boot on either new or old MB. After the upgrade, 
you can remove the un-needed modules and tweek for the new MB.

Good Luck,
