I used fedup to do the initial stage of upgrading on a Fedora 20

but it didn't make any difference - obviously the DO setup is
bypassing that stuff. I asked the DO tech support people but they
just said create a new F23 VM and move stuff over. Should it be
possible to do the fedup upgrade somehow? - it would save me a bit of
time . .
You can't use fedup on old Digital Ocean images which boot from an
external kernel, simply because they boot from an external kernel and
initramfs.
Yep, that's what it looks like . .
The new Digital Ocean images, introduced a few months ago, boot from
the kernel installed within the VM, and thus _can_ be upgraded with
fedup. I believe the first Digital Ocean image with this capability is
Fedora 23.
Right, some progress at least . .
Thanks!
Phil.
