Change from i440fx to q35 (Linux)

[Afox]

Hello,

can there be drawbacks when changing from i440fx to q35 on Linux if the system was installed as i440fx?

I found that at least NiCs can change the name. Is there anything else that can occur threatening the stability of the machine?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Afox

Not that I know, have changed that often for some test or pass through.
