G'day. I tried upgrading my son's computer from Fedora 10 to 11 using preupgrade. It seemed to work (but it had to download the image on the boot as I didn't have space in /boot). Upon my first boot, the computer hung with a white dash in the upper left corner of the screen. X would not start. I rebooted into single user mode, set run level to 3 and booted. If I start X using startx, I lose my keyboard and mouse. The task bar shows a lot of applications starting. As I have no keyboard nor mouse, all I can do is hit the power button. After pressing the power button, several errors were displayed including Nautilus having issues with Hal. I rebooted to run level3 and logged in as root. At the command line I tried yum update to see if there were updates I needed, but that failed with an error about file /var/cache/yum/updates/metalink.xml missing. System is a Gateway AMD 9500 quad core Keyboard is PS/2. Mouse is USB. Display is Nvidia 8600 GT PCI card. Any help would be most appreciated as this computer is now down (except for Vista which I am using for this post).
