Moving self-contained /oracle filesystem to new server question

We're going to be consolidating some databases on new/existing hardware.

However, the existing Oracle Installs are on Red Hat 5.10, Kernel
2.6.18-371.3.

The new hardware is Red Hat 6.5, kernel 2.6.32-431.29.

The filesystems are self-contained (binaries, datafiles etc) so we plan on
unmounting/remounting the filesystems from the old hardware to the new
hardware.

The Oracle installed versions are mostly 11.2.0.2 or 11.2.0.4 with one
10.2.0.4.

What I'm curious about is any special considerations doing this? For
example, will this require relinking the Oracle binaries? Anything else to
think about?

Thanks,
Chris
