This failure happened on two separate systems in an identical fashion,
an AMD Athlon, and an Intel dual core.
The upgrade appeared to operate normally, but then Grub shows a kernel
of 2.6.25.6-27.fc8, X11 fails, with a text prompt of Fedora release 9.
Yum fails and reports a phython module of _sha256 is missing. The
phython, lib, and crypto versions look current, but some have a .fc8
extension instead of the .fc9.
It would appear whatever happened to phython, prevented Grub from
being configured for Fedora 9.
Is there a simple way out, other than depending upon backups
working? I have been doing upgrades in this manner since Fedora 2.
This is the first time an upgrade resulted in such a puzzle. Is there
something about the number 9 and desktop versions from RH?
Should I attempt to install the .fc9 versions of phython?
Advice would be appreciated, to help void making this a worse mess.
